Dog Training

A trained dog is a better dog

A well-behaved dog is a joy to live with, and proper dog training helps ensure that your pup can participate in almost everything you do together. Puppies can begin very simple training starting as soon as they come home, usually around 8 weeks old. Whether your goal is puppy socialization and or participating in dog sports, training is key to making your dog more confident and comfortable in a variety of situations. It’s also a lot of fun for both people and dogs.

Handlers

Professional handlers have historically played an important role in dog sports and events. Many owners rely on the expertise of professional handlers in the care, conditioning and presentation of dogs. For those who use the services of a handler, the experience and education of the professional can mean the difference in the presentation, and most importantly the care and safeguarding of their dog.
