Programs

Private lessons are one-on-one sessions in the owner's home, customized to the dog and schedule. Behavior modification addresses biting, fear and dominant aggression, resource guarding, phobias and shyness. In-kennel training houses the dog at the training facility for anything from simple commands to behavior work. Group classes in puppy training and basic obedience run at different locations, with basic obedience listed at $180.
