Upcoming Classes
Right Start Puppy:
Dog Psychology/Behavior Orientation - Included in the Puppy Program and Basic
The first class of your Puppy or Basic I course is our Orientation, where only the owners attend - No Dogs. During this class, we teach you about the basics of dog psychology and behavior. We do this so you can learn to understand how your dog thinks and interprets your behavior. Understanding the basic constitution of a dog will help you to more effectively train your dog to listen and learn.

Private Training - In Facility and In-Home Sessions Available
If
you have specific behavioral issues (or a conflicting schedule with the above classes), then private instruction may be best
for you. We work with you and your dog to determine the source of the
behavioral/psychological problem and work with you to correct it. We
give you instructions on how to continue working with your dog to
maintain or further your success. In-Home and In-Facility privates are priced based upon your needs and the number of dogs we are working with to resolve your concerns. We try to be flexible in scheduling sessions at the most convenient time for all parties. Standard pricing for our 2-hour session is $150; however, this may be adjusted based upon your needs.
Note: 2 week follow-up sessions may be required for more serious problems.
* For the Right Start Puppy and the Basic Obedience I classes - Bring a 2nd dog from the same household the 2nd dog is 1/2 off the regular price.
