When training cuts corners or the dog is taught exclusively through the use of force the dog never learns how to make the correct choices and the training tends to fall apart quickly. Unbalanced training on either side of the spectrum leads to an unbalanced dog. We believe in a relationship based approach that concentrates on developing a solid understandings between dogs and their owners. The majority of our programs are board and train based, meaning the dog will be staying with their trainers for at least some of the program. However, our board and train programs differ from other training programs because we don't just focus on the dog.
In dog training there are two sides of the equation and the other side of that equation, is you!
Having ONLY the dog trained may be a bit less expensive or seem easier, the results won't last in the long run. Dogs are not robots or computers, they cannot just be programmed and sent on their way with the expectation that they will always be perfect in their performance. Good training takes input from you. Desirable behavior needs to be reinforced and undesirable behavior needs to have consequences.
Our goal is to teach you how to more effectively and efficiently communicate your needs and expectations to your dog. Of course, it will be easier because we have effectively taught your dog a new "language" while in camp with us. Now we teach you that same language.
By the time he or she leaves our home for your's, you will have a better understanding of your dog and a more effective way to communicate with him or her so that the training we have done will last a lifetime. Our programs are an investment for you and your dog's future.
We believe in teaching the dog how to learn and how to make good choices. Eventually, as the dog has a more thorough education and an understanding of the behaviors we believe in thoughtful and fair consequences so training is not only fun for you and your dog but also extremely reliable under any type of distraction!

Behavior Modification Programs,
We help you get to the root of your dog's fearful, anxious or nervous behavior. Through our proven methods we build confidence, greater resilience to stress, and help you improve your dog's quality of life.
You know your dog is friendly but the rest of the world doesn't because he transforms into a snarling, growling, lunging, barking mess every time he sees another dog or person. You don't have to live with the constant anxiety of running into another dog. We can help!
Having a dog that snarls, snaps, growls, tries to bite or has bitten other people or dogs is extremely stressful. You can easily feel isolated, overwhelmed and alone. We have helped countless owners and dogs overcome aggressive behaviors and go on to lead more fulfilling lives. For many dogs and owners we are the last chance. Let us help you and your dog take the first steps to recovery.
While there are no magic "cures" for serious behavioral issues, there is relief from your current situation.
