Method

Training is force free and reward-based, free from pain, intimidation and fear, and built on reward, praise, trust and balanced relationships. All trainers have a foundation in canine behavior.

Classes and programs

Group classes run from Puppy Primer and Puppy Basics through adult-dog training, Canine Good Citizen and shy, fearful or reactive dog classes. Canine sports include agility, rally, nosework, tracking, fieldwork, lure coursing and tricks. Private classes cover aggression, fear, separation anxiety, under-socialized dogs, disabled dogs and service dog training. There are also behavior modification programs, in-home and drop-off day training, daycare, youth summer camps, trips and a weekend Canine Camp.
