Pet Dog services

Helping your family pet become a well-mannered member of the family.
From private lessons to mentally stimulating courses we work hard to not only provide obedience to your fur baby but also help provide an outlet for their energy, both mentally and physically. In our private lessons, we focus on basic obedience along with behavior modification for problematic behaviors. We offer trailing and scent detection to help mentally stimulate high-driven dogs to help with an outlet for them.  
We also offer Behavior Modification. Behavior Modification is working with your dog to decrease an undesired behavior. Biting, jumping, unwanted barking and other destructive behaviors. Behaviors can be caused by different reasons. Determining the reason behind the behavior is critical. If diagnosed wrong, the behavior will more than likely worsen. Listed below are some of the diagnoses:
  • Fear Aggression
  • Dominance Aggression
  • Possession Aggression
  • Territorial Aggression
  • Maternal Aggression
  • Inter-male Aggression
  • Predatory Aggression
  • Idiopathic Aggression
  • Learned Aggression
  • Compulsive Disorders
  • Lack of Socialization
  • Separation Anxiety
  • Cognitive Disfunction
Behavior Modification is something that usually cannot be addressed in normal private lessons. We offer a free consultation for these cases to help understand what is going on with your pet. At the consultation: we will assess your pet, diagnosis them, give you a summary of our recommendations and pricing.
