Training Services

"Training" Services involve teaching your pet new behaviors. A popular, but out-dated, term for this is "obedience" (e.g., sit, stay, down, etc.). Addressing your pet's problem behaviors - like being reactive on a leash or freaking out in the crate - could be due to any number of issues, including but not limited to pain, anxiety, nutritional deficiency, inadequate mental or physical stimulation, etc. As such, addressing these sorts of behaviors would fall under Behavior Services​.

 

However, if you're looking to get your puppy off on the right paw or teach your newly adopted pet some manners or even teach your crazy cat some tricks, training services are ideal for skills including, but not limited to:

• Walking on a loose leash

• Go to place, stay, settle

• Puppy socialization

• Puppy house and crate training

• General manners, such as: sit, down, stay, etc.

  Make sure this is the service you need!
