Specialties
Affordable puppy and dog obedience classes available to the general public.
Big or small we can help you train them all.
Experienced instructors including, therapy dog, AKC, and UKC evaluators can help your dog become an obedient pet, assist in training your dog to become a therapy dog, excel as a competition dog, and help Veterans train their dogs to become therapy, emotional support animals, or service dogs. You do not need a Purebred Dog to register or compete in AKC or UKC competitions.
We are able to offer our clients a wide range of canine training to meet their needs. We do not train your dog, so much as, we teach you how to train your dog. Class sizes are limited so every student receives individual attention.
History
Established in 2017.
Heidi and Sandra Owen, mother and daughter, decided to open an obedience training center. They volunteer their time to teach responsible dog ownership. All of the money from the group sessions goes back into the school for competition grade equipment and expanding the training offered. They are able to assist individuals with dogs that have behavioral issues, which might otherwise end up in a shelter, to help keep them in a forever home. Both are experienced instructors including, therapy dog, AKC, and UKC evaluators, and have earned titles and awards in obedience and conformation competitions with their own dogs. They have trained numerous breeds of dogs through different stages, from puppies to adult, both small and large. Heidi specializes in individual training with fearful, reactive, or aggressive dogs.
