Behavioral Training

This class is geared for dogs who have minor reactivity with people, dogs, distractions, and need to work at a slower pace with less distractions at the foundation level. As the class series goes on, we teach the dog problem solving techniques to deal with stress, behavior support, and also teach the handler how to best advocate for a dog who struggles with triggers. Great work for fearful, nervous, stressed dogs. If you need to muzzle condition your dog before training starts, watch this video.

Board and Training

With over a decade of experience tackling some of the toughest cases in Upstate NY, we have crafted a board and train program designed to ensure success for both your dog and you as the owner. Our training approach is the go-to resource for fellow professional trainers in our area when dogs face challenges in their progress. The education we provide to owners exceeds industry standards.

How do we achieve success with difficult dogs and anxious owners who fear this might be their dog's last chance?

We interview every potential board and train family to ensure they are committed and understand the training process both during and after their dog's stay with us.
We offer lifetime support to families.
We send daily photos and/or videos of your dog, allowing you to stay informed about their well-being, spirit, and training progress.
We integrate owners and their dogs into the community for shared success.
We provide at least 10 hours of hands-on training for owners before they take their dog home.
We maintain a small operation, accepting only one board and train dog at a time to focus all our attention where it's most needed.

When we find a dedicated owner, they in turn find a dedicated trainer.
