Method

The Tampa location uses balanced training techniques and says it incorporates positive reinforcement into all of its programs. Training begins with in-home sessions that involve the whole family and address behaviors specific to the dog's environment; once a dog has mastered basic commands it can move on to group classes.

Programs

Options include obedience training, puppy training covering housebreaking and basic commands, service dog training for roles such as mobility assistance, autism support and PTSD service, therapy dog training, and anxiety and aggression work. Group classes, dog boot camps with one-on-one sessions, puppy classes, an obedience school and a canine academy for service work are offered. Package types cover obedience, service and therapy dogs, puppies and personal protection. Behavior topics include leash walking, barking, reactivity, separation anxiety, jumping, recall, boundary training and vehicle behavior.
