Professional Dog Training
Successful dog training is accomplished through hard work and consistency. As your trainers, we will work with you to design an dog education plan to meet your goals as well as the needs of each individual dog.

Training Safety
Training Equipment
Safety is always the top priority. Quality equipment can make the difference between a safe, fun training workout and a disaster. Every handler should have a 6′ leash and a 20′ – 30′ long line, as well as an effective training collar.
We are open to almost any type of training equipment, provided it is humane and allows you to maintain good control of your dog. Exceptions: No zip leashes or chain leashes.
All handlers must have the ability to stop their dog in the event the dog has ideas that run contrary to yours or the safety of the dog and others. Body and facial harnesses are not recommended.
