He is simply a changed canine.

Our 18-month Golden Retriever would counter surf and take playing too far. After the 3 weeks we have noticed amazing obedience from Rex and a calmer temperament. He is simply a changed canine and for all the right reasons.

Trained off leash. Heels at the first command.

We brought our 1-year-old German Shepherd mix to Andy and the difference is remarkable. Trained off leash, heels at the first command. He has completely changed his behavior for the better. Could not recommend enough.

Mike & Marcie SwaneyGoogle review
WOW did we make the right decision.

It was tough to have our German Shepherd Camden gone for three weeks, but he has come home confident, obedient and happy.

Questions? We've Got Answers.

What happens after I fill out the form?

A trainer will text you shortly to learn a bit more about your dog and answer any questions. If you'd like, they can also hop on a quick call. There's no pressure to sign up.

How much does training cost?

Pricing depends on your dog and your goals, so every program is built around your needs. We have training options to fit every budget, and financing lets you start now and pay over time. After you fill out the form, we'll recommend the right option with no pressure.

Can every dog be trained?

Yes. We train any breed and any age, from puppy basics to leash reactivity and aggression. Every dog can learn with the right plan, and we'll build one around yours.

How long does training take?

It depends on your dog and your goals. Before you start, a trainer will recommend the right program and length for your dog, so you'll know exactly what to expect.

Do you guarantee your training?

Yes. We fully guarantee our training. Your trainer will walk you through exactly how the guarantee works before you start, so there's nothing to lose.

What if my dog stops listening after training?

Training lasts when everyone at home knows what to do. We teach you and your family how to keep it going and follow up after training. If anything slips, just reach out. You have support from our trainers for the life of your dog.

Will training change my dog's personality?

No. Your dog will still be the same loving, goofy dog you know, just calmer and easier to live with. Training gives your dog clear rules and confidence, not a new personality.
