We’ll work togther in your home, where life – and most behavior – occurs. Learn how to create the BEST behaviors for your Everyday Life - using space, situational cues, voice, touch and body language.

We set your pup or your dog - and YOU - up for success. Our sessions are always tailored specifically to your dog’s unique personality and your specific goals.

 

Puppy Prep Boarding School

Comprehensive foundation training and problem-solving while your puppy or dog stays in my home for a  period of time. Length of stay is variable – can be anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks. 

Your beloved pet is never  housed in a kennel or basement, but is fully integrated into a home environment where love and learning go “hand-in-paw”. Only a very few students are ever enrolled in our boarding school program at any one time, ensuring that personal attention and training for your puppy – as the unique individual that he is - remains paramount.

Boarding school is a great option for owners with busy schedules who desire an effective jump start in their puppy’s good mannered skill set.
