Got Dog Behavior Problems? We have Solutions!
Our Dog Training Philosophy
We have developed a variety of training programs that remove the emotional conflict created by the owner’s frustration over their dogs’ misbehavior, and their lack of understanding of what motivates a dog to behave in such ways. Although no dog training method is ever completely “force-free”, we have successfully incorporated our understanding of how dogs think into a truly dog friendly training program that enables your dog to learn without conflict.
Our Dog Boarding and Training Programs
Are you concerned about assuring the very best possible care for your pet while he is away? We offer around-the-clock attention, feed only premium diets, provide concierge veterinary care including nutrition counseling and weight management. Our trademark V.I.P. treatment is provided for every dog that is fortunate enough to be enrolled in any of our boarding and training programs! Your pet resides in a home, not a kennel, and is able to interact in a constructive way with other dogs, cats, and people! Our residency programs also offer many opportunities for your dog to travel to a variety of training locations and practice his skills in public. We only accept a small number of dogs into our residency programs so that we may address their individual requirements in a personalized way. We are appropriately licensed and responsibly insured.
