Can YOUR puppy hold a stay?
This sweet golden pup is only 8 months old. Obedience training should be started as early as possible!
Puppy PreSchool, Beginner Obedience Classes or private sessions, we can help!
One of the big things we focus on in group class is learning to ignore other dogs when out and about. Here are a couple of dogs practicing the "pass by" in Tractor Supply.
We love training out and about in the community! It's so important for owners to be able enjoy taking their dogs out ❤️
Real life obedience means calm and reliable, with every member of the household.
It takes a lot of work to build reliability in a dog. But the payoff is so worth the effort!
Training is so much fun! Come join us for basic through advanced obedience, trick classes, Rally Obedience and all sorts of fun with your best friend!
Voted "Best of" Davidson County for a reason, we put our clients first!
This is what happens when a Trick dog starts working on Rally skills.
Toogoodoo the Westie has to throw her own interpretation on "swing" and "front". It cracks me up so much and I love it! 😍🤣
Bonus style points, for sure.
Don't let the cuteness fool you. Both things in this video can be a whole lot of trouble!

Group Classes are "Fun and Games" with a purpose!
Beginner Obedience teaches basic skills like sit, stay, come, greeting politely and leash manners.
Once your dog has some basic skills, level 2 Class teaches them to use those skills in public! Parks, dog friendly stores, out and about they learn to stay, come, heel and greet people and dogs politely.

We received this video and a thank you message this morning from Jack's family. Not too long ago, this dog was escaping and running off, completely unable to be trusted off leash. Today, he's able to play and explore with his people after they did some obedience and off-leash private sessions!
We are so happy to get videos like this from our clients showing off their dog's progress! Keep up the good work and enjoy letting him run with you!

Alright folks, we've got a #trainingchallenge for the month of December! Can you walk your dog with leash and coffee in the same hand? Post a pic or a short clip in the comments!
The pup with the best leash skills gets a Christmas treat bag of yummy goodies, and the pup with the WORST leash skills wins a FREE private leash walking session!
Let's spread some Christmas cheer and have some fun with our pups! Get out there and train!
In our beginner classes and foundational private packages we talk a lot about "Essential Pet Dog Skills" and "Real World Obedience". Doorway boundaries is one of those skills. Today I got a chance to shoot a quick video with a great real world example of that particular skill in action.
The dog in this video is VERY high prey drive, and came to live with us with a history of killing small animals. Even so, she knows her boundaries and respects them, no matter what.
Hattie gets a 10/10 on "Come When Called" and a 2/10 on "Stopping When She Gets There" 😆
While we can teach your dog to be this excited about coming back, braking on slick floors can be a bit harder ✋🛑💥 But they get there eventually!
