Make A New Best Friend
The companionship of a well-mannered pet is one the most fulfilling aspects of the human-animal bond.
Our training program is designed to develop a highly focused relationship between you and your dog. With small class size, our sessions are set in stages so pets can master age appropriate behavior and then graduate on to new, more demanding challenges.
Choose from group lessons or intensive one-on-one sessions. Please contact us at 920-465-4444 if you are interested in these services, and we will get you enrolled in the class that is right for your pet. Need help with a behavioral issue? You can speak directly with our trainers to get solutions, and peace of mind.
