Do you dread taking your dog for walks or out in public? Maybe they bark their heads off when they see another dog, or the minute you walk out the door they are doing back flips on the leash and dragging you along behind them. Perhaps you are worried about what would happen if they encountered a distraction and you’re at your wits end. That's where we come in!
We’ve developed our programs based on what we’ve learned works best and is most effective over the years. You have over 30 years of combined experience behind you, and we have a whole team ready to help you solve problems and get you some much-needed relief. We use science- and reward-based methods to solve behavior problems, and we’ve got the credentials and experience to back it up.
Please note that we do not use force or aversive tools, and we do not allow them to be used while working with us. This ensures that our programs are very effective with diligent practice, management and homework completion, while also being humane for your canine companion.
