Most issues start at home so home is the best place to correct them! As training progresses (program dependent) we may move the lessons to other locations in order to work with distractions. The success of any program will be based on each individual dog, owner, and household. The programs outlined below may be modified specifically for the success of each dog. Every program includes access to various resources created to better the life and bond between pet and owner!

Loose-Leash walking Program

enrichment program

Breakdown: This program will be teaching owners how to facilitate an enriched environment for their furry friends! Enrichment helps satisfy both the physical and psychological needs of animals and allows them to make choices. An enriched environment is interesting, allows animals to perform natural behaviors, permits them to be more active, and use their brain. Based on breed, breed groups, and the individual dog, they will enjoy different enrichment activities and we will help you to explore options and learn what your dog finds most reinforcing and why. Understanding this will help enhance the bond between you and your dog. 

Logistics: This is an online forum with weekly Q&A’s, blog updates, and enrichment activities to try with your dog - on your own time!
