Services

They specialize in special-needs dogs, including dogs dealing with trauma, aggression, separation anxiety and fears from mild to extreme, and do extensive work on behaviors that grow out of trauma. Canine Good Citizen classes build good manners and obedience, and they are CGC evaluators.

How they train

Training uses marking and rewarding so the pet knows the exact moment it has done the behavior correctly.
