OUR TRAINING METHODOLOGY

Teaching your dog to obey you is no easy task. From simple commands to advanced training, sometimes it’s best to seek professional help to get the results you want. In our classes, your dog will learn to socialize with other people and dogs while developing excellent obedience skills on and off a leash.

You can either start your new puppy in obedience classes to develop good manners from the beginning. With an early start, your puppy will fly through lessons and become a mindful, obedient dog.

After beginner courses, transition them into intermediate and advanced classes. Here, you can master the basic commands (like “sit”, “stay,” “drop,” etc.) and then work on advanced commands and off leash training. By attending our dog training courses with your four-legged friend, your dog will be housebroken, well-mannered and ready to play catch in no time.
