Additional Training Classes & Learning Opportunities:
Board & Train
This option is perfect for a puppy who has completed Puppy Academy training and would benefit from deeper work on their behavior! Our board & train program is a great opportunity for your dog to have a fully immersive learning experience with our dog trainers while away from home. Your dog is focused on honing in their training and obedience in a shorter period of time.
Private Training Lessons
If you finish Puppy Academy training and are in need of personalized support for you and your dog, our 1-on-1 sessions with one of our friendly dog trainers might be just what you need! Private lessons are primarily offered at our facility, but if you’re unable to meet in person we do offer virtual lessons as well. In some cases we also offer private lessons in the comfort of your home at an increased cost. These personalized trainings are tailored to fit you and your puppy. Whatever your needs, there is a dog training program for you!

Our dog training methods are adjusted to fit the specific needs of each individual puppy and owner. Our dog trainers are empathetic, understanding, and want to provide your puppy with personalized training that gives you the best result.
Yes. Consultations with one of our dog trainers are essential for us to assess how to best utilize your time and ours as well as better understand their behavior and what we should work to improve together. Having a consultation prior to a dog training session is key to a successful and effective training lesson for you and your puppy.
We accommodate all breeds, sizes, and ages. Your puppy must be current on all appropriate vaccinations for their age prior to any dog training.
It depends on the puppy and their owner. Staying committed to dog training will only help their results. How quickly we can train your puppy depends as much on you as it does on them! We may be able to teach your puppy basic commands and recall within a couple of weeks but if you aren't consistently reinforcing their behavior and skills, the skill may not last.
