Once your dog is ready, our training team and working dog(s) will take “field trips” to parks, dog friendly business, and/or your neighborhood to put all the learned skills into use the real world.
We are there with you every step of the way to ensure the skills and behaviors learned at our facility transition to success where you and your dog need it the most, in real life situations. Our team is there to make certain you and your dog have all the tools, answers, and solutions needed for long term success after your behavior training program is completed.
