A: Their are many effective training tools that can help your dog achieve its maximum potential.  Depending on the dogs needs we utilize many different tools and training collars.  For most small dogs our training is done with a slip leash and clicker.  For larger and power breeds, other tools may be necessary. Your dogs safety and well being is our number one concern.  We do not use these tools in a harsh or cruel manner.

​

Q:  Do you do potty training?  

A:  By the time most dogs come to us at the age of 16 weeks, potty habits good or bad have already been established. Although, we can help a dog with bad habits with a consistent routine. We can't guarantee the dog will return home after 3 weeks and not have  any more accidents.  See our Free Tips page for more information on Potty Training.
