Can you train my reactive dog? Aggressive dog? Nervous dog?

All dogs can be trained. We are committed to seeking out what works best for you and your dog as individuals.

Will dog training help separation anxiety?

Yes! Through obedience, lifestyle changes, and tips and tricks, dog training can make worlds of a difference for your fearful or anxious dog.

What can you train a dog to do?

Common reasons people seek out our services:

  • They want to train their dog to stop barking. This could be in general, in the house, at people, or at other dogs.

  • They want to train their dog to walk politely on the leash. Whether it’s a loose leash walk, or a tight heel, both are achievable.

  • They want to train their dog to be a therapy dog, be a service dog, or an emotional support animal. All three require different things, and have very different legal requirements.

  • They want puppy training. Puppies can be tricky to navigate. Luckily, we are here to help.

Either way, we’re here to help. Reach out, and we’ll get something set up!
