Services
Agility Training
Our agility training develops coordination and communication between dogs and handlers through structured obstacle courses. Dogs learn to navigate jumps, weave poles, and contact equipment while handlers master advanced handling techniques. Programs progress from basic skills to competition-level performance, with options for private lessons and group classes.
Obedience Classes
Obedience programs teach essential commands and impulse control for dogs aged six months and older. Curriculum covers sit, stay, recall, and leash walking while addressing common behavioral issues. Classes progress through multiple levels, preparing dogs for AKC Canine Good Citizen certification and advanced training challenges.
Service Dog Certification
This comprehensive program trains service dogs for medical alert, mobility assistance, and public access tasks. Includes 12-week foundational training, public access testing, and specialized task development. Graduates receive official certification and legal identification for assistance dogs.
Barn Hunt Events
Barn Hunt classes develop dogs' natural scenting abilities through rat detection in controlled environments. Dogs learn to locate safely contained rats in straw bale structures while developing focus and drive. The program includes competition preparation and title achievement opportunities.
Boot Camp Programs
Intensive day programs combine structured play with professional training for behavioral development. Dogs receive personalized instruction in basic to advanced obedience while socializing in supervised playgroups. Includes behavior modification options for dogs with special needs or anxiety issues.
