Training
Continuous learning is as important to our dogs as it is humans. Our “school” level system allows for a well behaved dog through all of your dog’s life stages.
All classes are kept small for individual attention. We encourage the use of clickers in all of our classes (though it’s not mandatory) and we teach positive training methods while avoiding aversive training methods. This makes classes fun for both humans and dogs! Classes book fast, so be sure to reserve your spot!
Call us at 724-935-3647 to reserve your spot in class. Or contact us by email for more answers and support.
One-on-One
One-on-One sessions offer dedicated attention to you and your dog so that you can troubleshoot any problems you have been experiencing. One-on-One sessions can be scheduled at your convenience and typically last one hour. We can dedicate this time to handle problem behaviors that are too challenging for the group class environment, or handle basic obedience issues – the time is yours to focus on whatever you need help with. In-home sessions are also available.
Play 'n Train
Play 'n Train is a great way to fit training in to your busy schedule. Simply drop your dog off for Doggie Daycare or Boarding, let us know how you'd like him to be better, and we can train during the day! You choose the behavior and we work on it while you're gone.

Please understand that we strive to keep our classes moderate in size to provide plenty of personal attention to each participant. As a result, space is limited and fills quickly. We require pre-payment for classes, and class fees are non-refundable unless you are canceling more than two weeks before the start of class. We ask you to check your schedule carefully to be sure you’ll be able to attend all or most of the classes in order to get the maximum benefit for you and your dog.
Vaccinations required for attendance: Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella. Puppies under 5 months who have not yet received the Rabies vaccine are still welcome to attend. They must, however, have received the entire series of Distemper/Parvo vaccines (usually a 3 part series) in order to begin classes.
