Do you have more puppy than time? Our day school is a loving, safe place for your puppy to learn, play and socialize during those formative first months. We’ll do the heavy lifting and send him home tired and trained.

Separation Anxiety

When you leave the house, are you miserable knowing that your dog is miserable? Do you worry about how much damage they’ll do while you’re gone? We can help!

Grooming

Does your pup hate bath time and nail trims? We use low-stress, fear-free practices to get the job done while teaching your pup to enjoy the process.

Our Philosophy

We believe that there is never a need for force, fear, or pain when changing your dog’s behavior. Even the most severe behavior cases can be safely improved with force-free methods. If we can, why not?

Our formally-educated and experienced staff use only positive reinforcement training techniques - with dogs as well as people! All carrot, no stick, no kidding.
