Private lessons

Behavior Consult

Private lessons are $75 and last about an hour each. This is a great option for dogs that need one-on-one training, may not benefit from a group class right away, have a history of reactivity, or if you desire specific cues taught.

Behavior consults are $100 and last about an hour. This is for dogs who are having behavioral issues that need management and training that is customized to dog and owner.

Group Classes

Our group classes run for 6 weeks for about an hour a week and cost $175, with a 7th week reserved as a make-up class. Weekly curriculum is not set in stone so we can stay flexible and focused on a fun and positive experience filled with life skills and basic obedience. We offer novice, intermediate, and advanced classes.

Barb

I grew up in Europe where my love for large breed dogs started. My current dogs are two Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, which accompany me on my daily hikes. I have extensive experience with behavior modification and reactive/aggressive dogs. My special interests are multiple dog households, socialization, and managing pushy dogs. My goals include building mutual trust and willing compliance.

Felicia

I have been involved in the dog world for over 20 years. I started out showing at 9 years old in conformation Junior Handling with a Schipperke and then purchased my first show dog at 11 years old. I handled my Bouvier des Flandres to his American, Canadian, and United Kennel Club Championships and also a few Rally titles. Because of some behavior issues with my Bouvier, I was introduced to the other side of the dog world with obedience training which then led into sport dog (IPO/Schutzhund) and behavioral evaluations/modification. For over 10 years, I did specialized work training with reactive and aggressive dogs. Dogs are my passion, and have been a part of every aspect of my life. I have been blessed to have had other dog trainers pour into me as a young trainer, increase my knowledge, and always challenged me to be better.
