Manners include socialization with other dogs and people; proper way for your dog to meet and greet company; establishing the role of you as the ‘alpha’ dog and much, much more. You will also learn how to curtail problem behaviors such as chewing, barking, house soiling and other problem behaviors.

Agility training is beneficial for releasing energy, building self-esteem and a stronger relationship between both you and your dog. Class size is limited to ensure you and your dog will receive individual attention.  Requirements include a copy of current vaccinations (DHLPP and Bordatella) and a graduate of course 120.

Agility Training is an on going sport. Like any other sport it takes practice. We have developed a series of Agility courses that you can participate in with your dog. Please note you must pass one course to go onto the next.

201 Private In-Home Training
This course provides one-on-one training at your home. The trainer trains the dog on all desired behaviors. After your dog has an understanding of the behavior, the trainer then trains you to maintain the behavior. Some behaviors addressed include “Sit”, “Stay”, “Come” and Boundaries. Benefits include personal attention, in your home (which allows the trainer to evaluate your dog's living quarters) and at your dog's pace. The course is 8 sessions, meeting upon your request. There are no special requirements for private in home training. $480 for 8 sessions.

220 Consultations
This one-on-one meeting is designed to tackle any questions you may have about your dog. Examples of past Behavioral Assessments include puppy proofing a home, extinguishing leash pulling, training “Come”, etc. This is beneficial, because it pinpoints the behaviors you would like to work on. Assessments are a one-time meeting (more are available upon request). There are no special requirements for a Behavioral Assessment. $65 per hour in town, $85 out of town.

Boarding School 255
During Boarding School, your dog will stay on campus for one month or more . At the end of the stay, we GUARANTEE your dog will be trained. During Boarding School, your dog will participate in Doggie Day Care, enjoy Dorm Room Boarding and work on new behaviors daily. The benefits of this course are immense. Your dog will be trained daily and will socialize with other dogs and people. Your dog will receive ample amount of exercise and the training is guaranteed. The course is very intense and is limited to a few dogs per month. Upon graduating from Boarding School you will receive outlines on how to maintain your dog's behavior and two consultations. Requirements include a copy of current vaccinations (DHLPPC, Parvo and Bordatella) and pass Paws University’s screening. $1400 for 1 month + 2 Consultations.

FINALS: Training is not 100% guaranteed; your dog’s learning rate depends on the perseverance and follow-up practice of the guardian.
