Training
Our training programs are sure to turn your dog into your most optimal Sidekick!
Using positive reinforcement techniques, we can help you teach your dog basic manners and even change unwanted behaviors. Together, we will teach your dog new appropriate behaviors then turn those skills into manners and expectations. We want your dog to understand what’s expected of him by building repetition and consistency in his routine.
Group classes organize learning through a set curriculum focusing on basic manners in a social setting. We keep our class sizes small so everyone gets a lot out of their experience. The Power Puppy class is best for pups younger than 5 months while our Canine Sidekick class is geared for dogs 5 months and older.
Level II courses are also available!

Private lessons are best for people who have very specific goals or schedules or require a more personalized experience. Working one-on-one with you allows our trainers to customize the training schedule to help you and your pup meet your training goals.
