This course is designed to meet your basic obedience needs. We will work on impulse control, polite greetings, ignoring other dogs, loose leash walking, and more. We do ask that your dog is not reactive or aggressive. The class will be held September 9, 10, 23, & 24 from 6:30-7:30pm. $250 per dog. You’ll also receive access to our virtual library where you can further up our training journey!
Paddleboarding has huge benefits for both people and dogs! Come teach your dog how to paddleboard. They'll learn how to relax on the board, board and deboard, and build their confidence. Meet us at Clark's Bay Recreation Area with a paddleboard and your dog. The class is $40.
This service is more involved than our victory visits as we will aim to desensitize your dog to normal handling done in a veterinary setting. Things such as eyes, ears, mouth, and the paws will be worked on during your dog's visit. For a half hour, we will get you and your pup feeling more confident when you enter the vet treatment room! $35.
Victory Visits have anecdotally shown to help reduce stress in dogs over time. We are offering 15 minute slots for you and your dog to come into the vet clinic and have a positive experience where no medical care occurs. $20.
15 minute (or less) phone call to briefly discuss any issues that you would like training assistance on. We will chat about our training programs and what we can do to help you, your family, and your dog(s) live a more successful and less stressful life.
This call includes everything EXCEPT behavioral issues and service dog information.
If you're struggling to determine what dog is right for your lifestyle, this short program will allow you to choose the correct dog and find where to get your dog. This is typically a phone or zoom call.
