The Benefits of Hiring Us
*Positive training methods
We use positive reinforcement (treats, toys, and play) in our training – NO prong or electric collars, no submission holds, and no physical force - after all, how else can you expect to have a trusting and positive relationship with your dog?

The owners of the company have a combined 40 years of professional training experience and animal care in zoos, aquariums, veterinarian clinics and animal rescue centers.
