Why We Added These Programs
We’ve heard from many clients who love the idea of professional training but prefer to have their dog home in the evenings or on weekends. These new weekday and day training options offer flexibility while still delivering the same high-quality, balanced training we’re known for.
By adding more variety to our programs, we can meet dogs and owners exactly where they are, whether it’s building a solid obedience foundation, addressing behavioral concerns, or simply creating a calmer, more enjoyable companion.
