Nationally Ranked Top Dog Trainers

We are not just your average certified Dog Trainers.  We are Nationally ranked trainers and we have Canine Distinction Awards and Nationally Renowned Achievement Awards to prove it.  Also, we have several of our students that are Nationally ranked in Obedience, Agility, Frisbee, Flyball, Field Training, Conformation, and Dock Jumping.

When we are showing dogs at a dog show, with 3,000 other people and other dogs, our dogs can handle the distractions and LOVE what they are doing.  That is when you know you have a well trained dog.  In our classes we help dogs deal with everyday distractions.  Do not let people tell you that you shouldn't train without distractions.  As the whole world is nothing but a distraction to your dog.  You and your dog need to be able to deal with all kinds of distractions, to be a well balanced team. 

Our classes are 5 week courses, not just 2 or 3 lessons to give you a taste.  We have 2 instructors for every class, with an average of 8 dogs in each class.   We are comprehensive in what we teach. We want you and your dog to be totally able to understand, and implement what you have learned, and you can not do that in 2 or 3 lessons. You can not work on distractions and socialization with just 2 or 3 dogs in a class.

We are a large 5 acre facility, with room for agility and classes, indoors and outdoors.  Indoor classes are heated  for bad weather and cold seasons.  We are your coaches not just your instructors.   You can ask us any question you like and we will help you.

POSITIVE MOTIVATIONAL TRAINING

We use the latest operant positive reinforcement training methods. Training is a method of changing a behavior using rewards that will drive the behavior in the direction that you would like it to go. One must realize that a dog will do what works for them not you. If you utilize this fact, you can have them do what works for you. Thus, you reward the behavior you want rather than try to punish after the fact what you didn't want.
