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. Safety rules are spelled out, such as keeping all dogs on lead and current on vaccinations. Contact is by phone or email, and the site notes that Google call-routing can be unreliable, suggesting an alternate number. Overall the tone is approachable, community-oriented, and value-focused.
