Canine Manners

Perfect for puppies, young dogs, new family dogs, or dogs that need a basic training refresher, the goal of Canine Manners is to have a well-mannered dog at home and when out in public. Using positive reinforcement, our team will help you teach your dog basic household manners and manage common issues such as barking and jumping. We will help you determine what motivates your dog so you can quickly and effectively train the wanted behaviors, learn problem solving skills, and build reliability around distractions such as other dogs, people, noises. 7-week Canine Manners session fee = $188.

Nosework and Scentwork

The sport of scentwork and nosework celebrates the joy of sniffing and rewards your dog's natural instincts to find specific odors amid distractions, while building your handling and observational skills. This fun and contemporary twist on scent detection is designed for ALL types of dogs. If this is your dog's first formal training class, we recommend starting with a Canine Manners class then move to Beginner/Intro to Nosework. If your dog has basic obedience training, start with Beginner/Intro to Nosework. 7-week Nosework session fee = $188.

Agility: Introduction, Beginner, Foundational Skills

Your agility journey starts here through an introduction to agility training with our beginner and foundational skills classes. As a prerequisite, dogs should have passed Canine Manners or a similar obedience class as teams will be working off-leash nearby other dogs for brief periods of time. These exciting agility classes will teach dogs to perform obstacles safely while building confidence, and teach handlers basic handling theory and shaping behaviors using positive reinforcement. 7-week agility session fee = $168.
