AKC Training & Testing for ALL Dogs

For the Love of All Things Dog

Our goal is to train you to communicate with your dog. This sets you up for success and helps your dog understand what you want.

We understand the benefit of positive reinforcement training. Our favorite way to train is by shaping, when we set up the dog's environment, so your pup makes the right choice.

Our second favorite way to train is with luring, where we use reward placement to move the dog where we want them to go.

We break down stays, loose leash walking and other behaviors into bite size pieces and give you and your dog a full week to master each phase before moving on.

Come when called is a fun game! We'll introduce recall games you can play at home.
