WHY TRAIN YOUR DOG WITH US?
Dogs continue to learn their whole lives…games shape the way they learn and how they view the world. Fun and easy games help your dog grow into a confident, well-mannered, happy dog.
WHY GAMES?
Our games are based on the science of how dogs learn. They go beyond teaching behaviors and help your dog learn concepts like calmness, optimism, confidence, having value in being near you and being able to disengage from things in the environment. These concepts help change or prevent common behavior problems. A dog wth these skills becomes much easier to live with and makes good choices.
