We schedule lessons on the weekdays, evenings and Saturdays.

We offer a variety of dog and puppy training programs, described below, that are customized to your individual needs.

Solving Specific Behaviors

This first dog training program is ideal for dogs that already know some basic obedience commands and manners, but have a couple of behavior problems that need to be solved. Some examples are training your dog to walk nicely on a loose leash, greeting people without jumping on them, eliminating counter surfing and more. The initial in-home evaluation and training lesson is 2 hours long. The second and third lessons are 1 - 1.5 hours long and usually scheduled a week apart.

Living Peacefully With Your Dog

This is one of our most popular dog training programs. It is a great in-home training program for teaching your dog basic manners, obedience commands and behavior modification. We will work one-on-one with you and your dog so you can reach your dog training goals.

Here are some of the benefits:

• Your dog will learn important obedience commands and behaviors that you specifically need. For example, walking nicely on a loose leash, stopping excessive barking, listening and coming the first time you call your dog, greeting people politely without jumping on them, "drop it", "leave it", "heel" (walking next to you), "go to your place", eliminating counter surfing, laying down and settling, sitting and staying instead of bolting through an opened door, resolving fear and anxiety issues, plus much more. The lessons are customized to your individual needs.

• We will first meet for an in-home behavioral evaluation, discuss your training goals and demonstrate our training method with your own dog, so you can see how fast, easy and dog-friendly it is. After that we will spend the remaining time dedicated to your first training lesson. The initial evaluation and training lesson is 2 hours long.

• During the evaluation, we will develop a training plan that is specifically designed for your personal dog training needs.

• The subsequent in-home lessons are 1 - 1.5 hours long and are usually scheduled once a week.
