Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde...  Have you ever noticed that dogs that go to training classes are often on their best behavior in class while the instructor is watching, but as soon as the student and their dog leave the training area all bets are off and the monster comes back once again.

I can't even begin to count the number of dogs that come to class dragging their handler the whole way from the car to the building, then are perfectly behaved during class, then when the bell rings they lunge out the door and pull their handler back to the car again. What's wrong with this picture???

To help counter this problem we offer either private or or semi-private lessons in your home or the location of your choice.  We'll work in your home, office or wherever you're having the most problems with your dog's behavior.

We offer the following Classes:

Canine Good Citizen Test

Puppy Imprinting and Socialization

Basic Obedience / Introduction to STM Training

Problem Solving  (Also Post-Adoption Consultation)

Breed Suitability Study

Private Lessons in your own home or yard give the misbehaving dog the idea that his previous bad behavior will no longer be tolerated.  For new puppies, it gives the owner the chance to start off on the right foot and establish a relationship and work on problems right on the spot.

Semi-Private Lessons  Sign up with up to three of your friends and make your training experience more fun for everyone.  Up to four people can get together to form your own group class that can also be held in the homes of the students involved.  It's a whole lot of fun to train with friends, and more relaxing that getting together with a group of strangers in the normal group classes.

Please Note:  As our thanks for setting up a semi-private class, each person in the class will receive a 20% discount on the cost of the class.
 

PLEASE NOTE:
While we are dog training professionals, it is not possible for us to be able to diagnose your dog's specific problems or
to formulate a training plan to work on these issues without seeing you and your dog for a personal evaluation.
 
The information provided in this website has proven helpful to many of our previous customers, but it is only being
provided here as general information, not as advice to correct any problems you may be having with your specific dog.

Please seek the advice of your veterinarian and/or a professional dog trainer before attempting any behavior modification
or training programs.
