We also offer the option of one-on-one sessions.
Do you have a dog who reacts negatively to leashes, people or other dogs? Our trainers will work one-on-one with you and your dog to evaluate and help you understand why and how to address these common issues.
These sessions are not just for dogs with behavior issues; they are for anyone who prefers not being in a classroom setting or would just rather have individual training.
The one-on-one session is about an hour and the cost is $60.

AKC Rally is one of four companion events (obedience, Rally, agility, and tracking). Rally develops better teamwork between you and your dog, as well as sharpens your dog’s obedience skills and behavior – at home and in public.
You and your dog navigate a course together, side-by-side, at your own brisk pace. You move your dog through a course with signs where they perform different exercises. The courses include various turns and commands such as sit, down, stay, etc.
This class is an introduction to rally and covers all the signs in the novice class. Each week you and your dog learn new signs and complete a course together.
Dogs that want to participant in this class should have participated in our good manners I class, or have a strong grasp of the behaviors of sit, down, stay, and loose leash walking. Your dog should be able to sit calmly in a class of other dogs and people.
