The Family Dog. We love working with family pets! It's important to involve the kids and everyone else so that everyone is learning and achieving lasting results. It’s wonderful to see the youngest members of the family step up as dog trainers! (P.S. Don’t forget to check out Marley’s Method for some fun courses and books for kids, too.)
Our Expertise:
Behavior Modification. We specialize in helping shy, reactive, and aggressive dogs become happy, reliable, and stable companions. We have assisted hundreds of dogs in overcoming fears, anxieties, and other behavioral concerns. Our very own Marley, was a reactive dog when we adopted her. Read about Marley.
Recommended programs: Companion Dog Plus or Behavior Board and Train.
Therapy Dogs. Our passion is therapy dog training. There is something special about dogs that brings comfort to those who need it most. We have helped train therapy dogs that are going into local schools, airports, reading programs, courtrooms, dental offices, and medical facilities. We offer all levels of CGC testing and can help you get your dog’s certification through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs or your chosen organization.
