SERVICES
Training that Sticks. Results that Impress.
01
Puppy
Training
Give your puppy a head start on social manners, obedience, and potty training with private sessions or puppy board and trains.
02
Obedience Training
Dogs thrive after our obedience programs. Taking your lifestyle and goals into consideration, we create a custom training plan just for you and your canine companion to follow with 1:1 lessons or in follow up to your board and train.
03
Behavior Modification
Behavior modification is sometimes necessary in cases of aggressive, reactive, and fearful/anxious dogs. This type of training is more intensive, but tends to yield great results for owners who are proactive.
04
Advanced Training
Have bigger goals for your dog? Let's help you reach those. We teach competition training, protection dog skills, and trick training for dogs who are ready for the next step in their training.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Are Saying
"Thank you for the time and effort that you put into training our Golden Retriever, Marley and us. You took the time to get to know her and show us how to successfully work with her without breaking her spirit. We were so proud of her this past week in Pismo, walking around other people and pets without losing contol...this was a big issies for us as she thinks everyone is there to greet her! With your help, she's easily manageable in a crowd now. We can't thank you enough for the valuable training you provided for her and us."

My husband and I have a Cane Corso puppy who was nervous in new environments. With a young baby at home I started looking for a trainer who was familiar with training guardian breeds...After answering a few questions about our dog's needs a meeting was set for our training to start...During those lessons we realized our puppy just wasn't very confident. So it was decided that she would benefit from a 4- week board and train stay. She left nervous but came back to us a much more confident dog. We got picture and video updates almost everyday and quick responses to all inquiries. We see a difference and improvement everyday!"
