Why In-Home training?
Training in your home allows us to get to the root of behavioral problems quickly. The home is the center of your pet's life and since we work with your pet in their own familiar environment, they learn faster and we can handle problems on the spot including house breaking, pulling on the leash, jumping on guests, destructive chewing and more!

Tailored Programs
Getting Started
Getting started is easy and begins with a 1 hour evaluation in your home. During this time, through a questionnaire, we assess which program would best suit you and your pet.
Once a program is determined we discuss costs for training and clearly outline program expectations including your involvement as well as ours.
When enrolled you will be placed into our training schedule at a time that is based on your availability!

Together we focus on developing a well mannered dog while having guests in the home. Your dog learns to go to a specific area on command and stay until released. At which time the guest will have the option of interacting with the dog. No more embarrassing visits with friends or family!
