Working and obedience are how well they learn the tasks and commands that you teach them. Rescuing, Rehabilitating and Rehoming animals is not cheap…but it’s the right thing to do.

Communication – Our pets can’t understand the words Good or Bad, however, they process our non-verbal cues through our body language. Pets can read mixed messages in our communication style, which is why we train dogs and owners to communicate effectively through body language and non-verbal cues. Our underlying dog training framework focuses on three key principles. These are the foundation blocks of our dog training philosophy, and we prepare both pet and owner to carry these principles into their home environment.
