WHAT METHOD OF TRAINING DO YOU USE?

Calm, positive training that holds the dogs attention and makes them want to work. Not all dogs are the same and we find a reward that the dogs like to use as positive reinforcement. ​Treats, toys, pats, and play time are used as rewards for correct commands, good behavior, and steady improvements. Each dog will learn that working well equals rewards and fun! Making learning quick, easy, and enjoyable. ​

WHAT DO I NEED FOR PRIVATE LESSONS?

You will need to bring or provide treats, collar, leash, water and bowl, crate, and potty bags. We also encourage a toy that can be used as a reward.

HOW OLD DOES MY DOG HAVE TO BE TO ENTER TRAINING?

Your dog or puppy has to be a minimum of 12 weeks old. All ages older than 12 weeks old are welcome!

WHAT REQUIREMENTS DOES MY DOG HAVE TO HAVE TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM?

​We should know if your dog is aggressive in ANY way (food, people, other dogs, toys)

1. Current DHLP shot
2. Current Bordetella (kennel cough)
3. Current Rabies Vaccine
4. Current De-worming and Flea/tick medication
5. Current Grooming if your breed requires it
6. As thorough of a history background as we can have for your dogs will help us understand their way of learning quicker.
