Our greatest goal
as dog trainers is to create a harmonious relationship between dogs and their people. Our program is rooted in play and fun

shows play is not just joyful and energizing -- it's deeply involved with human development and intelligence.

difference between a dog that is tolerating interactions with children and a dog that is actually enjoying these interactions.
