We will soon offer puppy socialization,
obedience, rally and conformation handling classes
in our training building which is heated and air conditioned.

We believe in positive reinforcement and the use of conditioned reinforcers
in training dogs. The training experience should be a positive one for
both the dog and the owner.

Liz is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers
and has studied under Ian Dunbar DVM Ph.D.
as well as Adele Yunck of Northfield Dog Training.

Doggy day care and limited boarding will also be available.
Building rental is available for individual training or small groups.
