- Should I take personal or group training?
Group training - working around other dogs offers more distractions, the structure of weekly classes, and homework.
Socialization - your dog must be evaluated to join us for Structured Socialization.
Personal sessions - you and your dog receive individual attention while we work on exactly what your dog needs.
Freedom℠ - we are low level remote collar training specialists. With our program, your dog can learn to be 100% off-leash trained in high distraction environments. Freedom is gentle, calming, force free, and highly effective.
Board & Train - we offer 5-day and 3-week long programs. Your dog can board with us, or you can drop your dog off every morning and pick up every evening.

- Can my children come to training class?
Any member of your family is welcome to come to the training classes, after all, your dog is an important part of your family. However, during class your dog needs your attention to train him properly.
If you are going to bring your children, please bring something to keep them entertained so your main focus is your dog.
If your child would like to help train the family dog, that is fantastic! An adult must be in attendence, and hold on to the dog's leash at all times. Your child will then be able to concentrate on training the dog.
If your children are unruly, you may be asked to leave.
