Mission

Dogs can be a wonderful addition to our lives. A dog can be a loyal friend who shares our happiness and can provide us with peace in times of stress or sadness. We can enjoy a multitude of activities together. The relationship you have with your dog lasts for years and the memories last a lifetime.

However, the decision to get a dog does not come without responsibility and commitment. Building a bond with your dog requires leadership, communication and affection which is best achieved through training. Teaching your dog how to win your praise and approval is the foundation of successful training.

Undesirable behaviors like digging, barking, biting, chewing, jumping on people, pulling on the leash and running away can lead to a very unhappy experience for you and your dog. Many of these issues suggest a dog that is bored or frustrated from a lack of attention or the inability to exercise and release their energy. Other times unwanted behavior is due to the lack of respect for you as the leader or not understanding when play turns unruly.

Obedience training is the first step. Whether your goal is to have a well-mannered companion or to solve problem behavior, a dog must understand how to respond to you. While a dog can be taught to do many remarkable things, obedience training generally involves just a few simple commands; Heel, Sit, Stay, Down and Come.

In addition to training your dog, deciding on the proper training environment is crucial. Where and how to train your dog depends in large part on your goals. Housebreaking and destructive behavior are best solved where these problems occur while antisocial or unruly behavior in public requires a different training environment.
