Creating a happy home life for you and your four-legged family member.

We are now offering training  consultations and lessons in person as well as via zoom and facetime

How we work

Specializing in obedience and problem solving for dogs of all ages. Using positive force-free training methods, we create stress-free learning for dogs and their owners.

Training techniques that are easy to incorporate into daily life.

We love working with families and kids! Having the whole family involved in training sets the dog up for success, and it’s a lot of fun, too.
