The stated goal is to train the whole family alongside their dog in a welcoming environment. The academy makes a point of offering discounts, including $20 off training for adopted shelter dogs and for active military personnel on Puppy STAR, Basic and Advanced Obedience classes.
Range of courses
The site advertises a broad course selection spanning Basic Obedience through Agility, Rally-O, and even Advanced K-9 Search and Rescue. It also caters to youth and community groups, offering free dog-training demonstrations and special group rates for 4-H, Boy Scout and Girl Scout projects, with custom programs designed around a group's schedule. For dogs with special needs or specific behavior concerns, private lessons are available both in-home and on-site.

Great place for dog (and owner) training. Marty is very knowledgeable and helpful. You can immediately tell that he has a deep passion and love for dogs. He's wonderful about training the whole family (kids included) and strives to help foster the happiest and safest environment and home for everyone. Highly recommend for any breed of dog at any age.

Marty is an outstanding trainer who very obviously loves dogs and really wants them to succeed. The facility is very clean and comfortable. The classes are small which allows personal attention for the dogs (and their owners) that may be struggling with the lessons. Highly recommended.. we have completed multiple classes and continue with training… with our dog.. OWNER MUST PUT THEIR TIME INTO THE TRAINING CLASSES AS WELL FOR YOUR DOGS TO EXCEED INTO A WELL TRAINED / WELL MANNER DOG.. Thank you marty ..
