I’ll hold your paws as we navigate this dog training thing together.

Offering private in-home training; day training and day school services; training walks; train and plays at local dog parks; solo and small pack hikes; boarding; and positive reinforcement board and train out of my private home. I pick up and drop off. No kids or resident dogs here (I foster from time to time instead), so I can even accommodate your misunderstood pup that needs to be the one and only! Video house tour provided ahead of time. All services come with 24/7 communication access to pivot our training in real time using a free app.

Do you need support with any of these?
