(If your dog has any allergies, please bring your own treats for training).

*If you have a leash reactive dog, we need to start with a private training session before the structured walks.

We can work on some issues you are having in your home like jumping, separation anxiety, counter surfing, crate training, puppy proofing, housebreaking, basic manners and more.
