SERVICE DOG TRAINING
According to the Americans With Disabilities Act, a person can choose to have a service dog due to a disability. No matter how much training a dog has, it is not a service dog if the handler does not have a disability.
Being a service dog is challenging and requires the right temperament. If you think your dog might be a good service animal candidate, we can evaluate his or her suitability for public access behavior as well as the task training you will need to mitigate your disability. We can also work with existing service dog teams, whether specific challenges come up, or add on more tasks over time!
GROUP CLASSES, CLUBS, AND SEMINARS
We offer group classes to with instructors who know their topic well and work their own dogs using some of the latests techniques. In our classes our goal for you and your dog is to have fun, learn, and see progress.
Our training clubs are limited to four students and everyone rotates one at a time working with their instructor in intense 7 minutes sessions. Dogs get to take a short break and then work again. These short sessions are great for both students and dogs and accelerate learning.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Obedience training teaches your dog to perform specific cued behaviors, while behavior modification addresses your dog’s reaction to a particular person, place, or thing.
A common error is to address a presenting behavior without treating the underlying cause. Eliminating a dog’s aggressive behavior like growling, lunging or shallow bites will not resolve his aggression – it will only suppress the obvious signals. The dog will still experience the same emotions but loses his ability to communicate through warning signals. This is often the case when a dog “bites out of the blue” – he was previously punished for growling.
