"My anxious rescue dog used to be terrified of other dogs while on walks. The training techniques have made such a difference in her confidence and behavior."
"My energetic Lab used to drag me down the street on walks. Now he walks calmly by my side, even with distractions around. The training has been a game-changer for our daily walks."

Everything you need to know about our dog behavioral training
Scheduling a dog training session is easy! Simply navigate to our Booking section, select your preferred date from the calendar, fill in your information and your dog's details, and complete the payment. Remember, we only offer two training sessions per day to ensure the highest quality experience. You'll receive a confirmation email with all the details of your booking.
During a training session, our professional trainer will first assess your dog's current walking behavior and discuss your specific concerns. They'll then demonstrate proper leash handling techniques and work with both you and your dog to address issues like pulling, lunging, or reactivity. The session includes practical exercises in real-world environments to help your dog learn appropriate walking behavior. You'll receive personalized guidance and a training plan to continue practicing between sessions. Each session lasts approximately 90 minutes to ensure thorough training and practice time.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on your dog's current behavior, temperament, and how consistently you practice between sessions. Many clients see significant improvement after 3-5 sessions, but some dogs with more challenging behaviors may require additional training. During your first session, our trainer will assess your dog's needs and provide a recommended training plan. We focus on teaching you the skills to continue training your dog long after our sessions end.
We understand that plans can change. You can cancel a scheduled training session by contacting us at least 48 hours in advance for a full refund. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice may be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. In case of emergencies or unexpected situations, please contact us as soon as possible, and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.
Currently, we focus exclusively on private, one-on-one training sessions to provide the most personalized experience for you and your dog. This allows us to address your specific concerns and tailor the training to your dog's unique needs. Group classes may be offered in the future as we expand our services. Stay tuned to our website and social media for announcements about new training options.
We use positive reinforcement-based training methods that focus on rewarding good behavior rather than punishing unwanted behavior. Our approach is science-based, humane, and effective for creating lasting behavioral changes. We never use shock collars, prong collars, or other aversive methods that can damage your dog's trust and confidence. Instead, we teach you how to communicate clearly with your dog and motivate them to choose appropriate behaviors.
