Day Training
We love to train dogs!
Not everyone has the time, energy, skills or interest to train. Yet the benefits of living with a well trained animal are countless. If your schedule makes it difficult to train your dog consistently, or you are encountering behavior problems, our Day Training program is for you.

Getting Started
Our programs are customized to meet your dog's training needs. Each program starts with an initial consultation with a member of our dog training staff where we will discuss your needs and assess your dog’s behavior and temperament. From there, we’ll recommend a customized training plan best suited to meet your goals. We will follow-up with you throughout the four-week period with one-on-one transfer sessions to keep you up to date on your dog's progress. Unless otherwise noted, our Day Training programs run for 4-weeks. |
