My dog doesn't like other dogs, can you socialize them?
We can work on a safe and ethical way to socialize your dog based on their behaviors. Sociability is a spectrum and your dog’s needs may not reflect your expectations. We must evaluate your dogs behaviors, past experiences, breed characteristics, and lifestyle to work on a training plan. We will find solutions that keep your dog safe and happy! We will not be able to completely socialize them for you but we will work together to create realistic expectations and training plans. This process can takes months to years depending on the severity of the case and how consistent you are with training. Training happens 24/7 so we must manage our dog’s environment and follow a diligent plan for the best results. Some dogs may be successful through training and counter conditioning, however, some dogs may need a strict management plan to reach their full potential.

Can you stop my puppy from biting, jumping, and pulling on the leash?
We love working with puppies, the earlier they start training the better! Puppies go through developmental phases which can present unwanted behaviors. We must keep in mind this is natural and an essential part of puppy development which cannot be fixed overnight. There are protocols we can implement to manage these behaviors and help our puppies satiate their needs in an appropriate way while they are navigating adolescence. We will help you teach your dog appropriate behaviors with training through this crucial time period.

Do you do daycare?
We are not a daycare facility, however our enrichment service is a great alternative! Your dog will receive one on one attention for 4 hours while getting a walk, mental stimulation, and a field trip to dog friendly places! If they like other dogs, there is potential for them to go out with friends in a controlled and supervised environment.
