Our Commitment

Our 5-week Basic Obedience training is the foundation for building a strong, trusting relationship between you and your dog. It’s where the journey starts—laying the groundwork for effective communication and mutual respect. Trust isn’t just one-sided; it’s a bond that goes both ways—your dog trusting you and you trusting your dog. As your dog learns to trust you, training new skills becomes more effective and enjoyable.

The Basic Obedience techniques we teach are rooted in the same principles used by Law Enforcement and Military K9 teams, designed to set both you and your dog up for success. Our goal is to help you and your dog form your own K9 team, working together with purpose and harmony.

Skills covered in Basic Obedience training include:

• Paying Attention
• Heel
• Sit
• Down
• Stay
• Come
• 
  

By mastering these commands, you’ll feel more confident in any situation, knowing you can trust your dog’s behavior around family and friends. As a result, you’ll both experience the satisfaction of having a well-trained dog and a deeper, more confident partnership. Together, you’ll be ready to tackle new skills and challenges as a unified team.

As you and your dog continue to build confidence and trust as a team, the next step is to remove the leash. Off-leash training takes your bond to the next level, demonstrating true mastery and discipline. While a leash and collar are valuable tools for gaining compliance, they are only stepping stones to achieving full control and freedom.

This program focuses on transitioning your K9 Team to work seamlessly without a lead. Off-leash obedience is the foundation for more advanced skills, such as field searches, retrieving, or even showcasing your dog’s abilities to friends. It’s about proving that you and your dog are a well-coordinated team, no matter where you are or what’s happening around you.

Our Advanced Obedience training is the next step in deepening the trust and confidence between you and your dog. This program is customized to meet your specific needs and goals, ensuring that the skills you develop are directly relevant to your lifestyle. For example, if you frequently host guests, we’ll create a tailored plan with specialized commands to make entertaining more enjoyable for both you and your visitors. Whether it's refining your dog's manners or tackling more complex behaviors, the focus is on creating a stronger, more adaptable K9 Team. Together, you’ll unlock new levels of teamwork and success.

Behavioral issues like aggression and anxiety are among the most common—and often most concerning—challenges dog owners face. Aggression, in particular, can be intimidating and, in some cases, lead to serious consequences if law enforcement gets involved. We're here to help you build trust with your dog and address these issues in a safe, effective way. Our goal is to identify the root cause of the aggression, whether it's fear-based or stemming from another behavioral issue. Throughout this process, your safety and the safety of your dog will always be our top priority.

Anxiety is another prevalent concern, and we are committed to helping you communicate with your dog in a way that meets their emotional needs. Our behavior training is completely medication- and supplement-free. If, during the course of our work together, we believe your dog requires additional support beyond our scope of practice, we will be upfront and transparent with you. Our promise is to be the first—and least invasive—step toward resolving your dog's behavioral concerns, helping you both find a balanced solution.

Our Protection Program Training is designed to develop your dog’s protective instincts while maintaining control and discipline. Tailored to your needs, this program teaches your dog to assess threats and respond appropriately, whether for personal protection or home security. The focus is on strengthening your bond while ensuring your dog is a responsible and reliable protector.

Just like in any professional career, it’s essential to keep refining and expanding your skills. The same goes for you and your dog. Our Continuing Education (CE) classes are designed for clients who have completed any of our programs and want to keep their teamwork sharp. These single-session classes are perfect for reinforcing previously mastered skills or pushing your dog to the next level—whether that’s advancing their protection training, perfecting basic obedience, or exploring new challenges.

In each session, you can expect personalized guidance that focuses on building consistency and maintaining your dog’s confidence in their abilities. Whether you want to tackle specific areas or explore new skills, these classes are all about keeping the bond between you and your dog strong and dynamic, ensuring you’re always prepared for whatever comes next.
