Dog Training Classes


Our reward-based training is always a hit with the dogs – and the owners! We introduce the principles of dog learning theory and apply these principles to training our pet dogs.

You will learn how to use clicker training and other motivational techniques to train your dog. Using treats, praise, and Life Rewards we encourage the behaviors we want in our dogs and learn how to re-direct the behaviors we don’t like. You will also learn how to fit training into your every-day life using mini-training sessions.

Perhaps most importantly, we have FUN in our classes. We strongly believe that if training is fun, you will be more likely to train your dog. Having a well-trained dog will enrich your life AND your dog’s life!

Our class size is limited to 6 dogs to ensure a personal touch.  Not only that, we usually have one instructor and two assistants for each class, meaning that there is a ratio of two dogs per instructor!

ALL family members are welcome and encouraged to join us!
