Our Training Programs
We have three main programs: Private Training (in your home or at our center), Group Classes, and Growin’ Up Pups (a puppy-specific program)
Private Training
In your home or at our training center, we can help you one on one with your dog on a variety of issues. Private training is great for those whose schedules don’t allow for classes or for those who benefit from individualized attention and lesson plans.

Group Classes
Most dogs who are comfortable with people and other dogs find group classes the best place to start. Each class has a broad curriculum to teach many new skills to you and your pup. Our classes are fairly small and range from 4-8 dogs typically. We offer some additional specialty classes not listed below.

Growin’ Up Pups Program
GUPP (we like to call it our GUPPIE program, Growin’ Up Pups Program Is Excellent) is designed to give new puppies and their families a really solid foundation that provides support through a very critical time in your pup’s life.
This program combines group classes, private lessons and field trips that last for several months. We walk you through the challenges of house training, support you through the frustration of puppy nipping, and help you start your puppy off right with building up good behaviors!
We know that a good foundation of training prevents long-term problems and we know that raising puppies right isn’t always easy and support is important
