Predatory behavior is a normal dog behavior! Our dogs are genetically predisposed to hunt and the chase itself releases hormones and endogenous opiods that further reinforce the process.

Most training methods work against your dog's natural desire to hunt, or rely on punishment, which can have adverse consequences. Unlike other methods, Predation Substitute Training instead harnesses your dog's predatory behavior and makes you a part of the process with your dog. The result is an improved relationship and a dog who's needs are met in safe, predictable ways.

We are the only Predation Substitute Training Certified Instructor in the DC Metro area and we are excited to bring these force-free training methods to you through our PST Training Package, which is coming soon!

Bill CB-097 was passed by the Prince George's County County Council this morning. This bill removes the 27 year long ban on Pit Bulls and Pit Bull "Type" dogs in PG County, MD.

What this means for us? Pit bulls are now able to enroll in any of our on site services, including Board & Train. We are THRILLED to be able to offer our services to ALL dogs, regardless of breed, without concern for ramifications for our clients!

Please spread the word. This 3 yo mini-schnauzer is looking for a new home. He would prefer an only dog home with no kids and predictable visitors, but as you can see from the video, he can likely live with a cat. 😅 He is an incredibly sweet, loyal guy with his people, who can no longer keep him due to their physical limitations.

He does have some medical issues, but they are managed on medication and he comes with a transferable health insurance policy. He has been fostered by one of our local veterinary behaviorists at , so you can trust he's been evaluated well.

If you're interested/want more info, let me know and I can connect you.
