3 Week Board & Train Program

“Fido pulls like crazy on leash and he’s just no fun to walk anymore!”

“Riley is just so energetic in the house - we just can’t enjoy her. She just seems to be all over the place!”

Who is this program for?

This program is for the owner with an adult dog, aged 4 mo+, who has a pretty “good dog” who just needs help with simple behaviors such as walking nicely on leash, hanging out calmly in the house and in public, and coming when called.

My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your dog again, and to enjoy the freedom you’ll have when you can take your calm, well-behaved dog anywhere you wish.
