We're a good fit if...
You're sick and tired of your dog's bad behaviors and lack of manners.
You’re completely fed up and not sure how to handle your dog. You have to hide your dog or hold them down when guests come over. You’re constantly frustrated by your dog barking and jumping at the door.
You don’t have to live with these behaviors! You deserve a dog that has manners and is well-behaved!
You're tired of leaving your dog at home because you can't take them out in public.
You got a dog thinking you could take them on nice walks, go downtown, and have a coffee or ice cream. But instead, you have a dog that pulls horrendously, barks at other dogs, and stops to sniff the ground every 2 seconds.
It doesn’t have to be like this! You should be able to take your best friend anywhere without hassle!
You want a dog you can take anywhere and be proud of!
We will work with you and your dog to get you both on the same page. Your dog wants to do the right thing and please you. Unfortunately, a lot of dogs are just confused.
We can help you fix these behaviors so you can take your dog anywhere and do anything!
