We are happy to provide a list of area trainers who share our philosophy of fear free training. These trainers are passionate about force free, positive dog training, and specialize in family dogs, and dogs with major behavior issues, such as reactivity and fear aggression, as well as obedience and agility.

Puppy training for dogs 18 weeks and younger, provides you and your puppy with the opportunity to get started on the right paw.  Your puppy will develop socialization and interaction skills with other puppies, people and environments.  This in turn builds your pet's self confidence and develops trust between you both.  House training, chewing, and biting advice will be incorporated.  Proper leadership skills will be used to teach simple obedience commands.  The emphasis of this class is FUN FUN FUN!  Start training early and raise a Rock Star!
