We have a "Great Start" program for pet owners
with young puppies or newly adopted adult dogs.

There's no doubt about it,
the best time to begin training your new puppy or dog
is before problems develop!

Whether puppy or adult, a dog coming into their new home is unsure about what's expected of them.  Bringing a new dog home means teaching them how "you roll" in your home and what
behaviors will and won't work.  Often, what we call "problem behavior" is simply
normal dog behavior that we don't care for.

Our Great Start program is designed to help you, help your new dog or puppy make the right choices.  It's a "package program" comprised of 5 hours of training, offered at a discounted price. 
We can teach you how to guide your new friend to behaviors that you find pleasing
...and that ultimately make his life easier and more fun! 

If you can effectively teach a dog what they need to know,
without sending confusing messages or breaking down their confidence,
you can avoid the common problems that often accompany a new pet.

A GREAT START FOR ADULT DOGS

Many a newly adopted adult dog has been returned to a shelter or rescue simply because they didn't just "know" what was expected of them.  This can happen if people choose an older dog because
they erroneously believe older dogs should already know how to "behave."  Well, maybe they did
know the rules of their old home, but every new dog needs to learn how to behave with you.
The key is to clearly define the rules of the house and teach the dog how to succeed.
We can help you set things up for success with your new best friend.

A GREAT START FOR PUPPIES

 Whether it's your first time, or it's just been years since you've done it,
raising a new puppy can be overwhelming.
But the good news is, puppies are like little sponges, soaking up information continuously.
If you know how, you can make sure that the lessons they're learning during this time are the things you would like them to know.  Where to eliminate, where in the house they can or can't go, what is acceptable to chew on...and what's not, and how to interact well with their new family members
are just a few of the things a new puppy needs to learn.

Teaching them what to do instead of waiting for them to make mistakes and then teaching them
what not to do is the way to avoid problems altogether and make learning fun.
It can change what people often feel is the "chore" of raising a new puppy
into the fun and joyous time that we believe it should be.

We can teach you how to turn raising a new puppy into a fun and joyous experience!
