About Our Dog Training Services
We offer training for puppies and adult dogs. All instruction is provided at the age and stage that's appropriate for the dog. We use positive reinforcement methods that reward dogs for what they are doing right. We do not use force or intimidation at anytime. All dogs are taught to the American Kennel Club standards for STAR Puppy and Canine Good Citizen.

Canine Good Citizen
Canine Good Citizen
CGC is a ten-skill training program that focuses on teaching good manners and obedience, while instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between owners and their dogs at home and in the community.
Positive Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement training uses a reward (treats, praise, toys, anything the dog finds rewarding) for desired behaviors. Because the reward makes dogs more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is a powerful tool for training your dog.
Behavior Modification
Behavior Modification
Behavior Modification is the process by which a dog's established and unwanted behavior is eliminated or brought to a level considered manageable by the owner. For many reasons, not all inappropriate behavior is modifiable; sometimes it just has to be managed.
