We are so happy you found us! Our goal is to make training fun, affordable and effective. Our classes and training sessions go beyond the basics teaching not only skills for your dog but also canine body language, appropriate play and how we affect our dogs. Our training methods are based on positivity, communication and understanding to build trusting partnerships. We strive to keep a supportive and non judgmental atmosphere to learn in.
We have classes and workshops for canine athletes, companion dogs, Service dogs, Therapy dogs and Emotional support dogs. Check out details on our Training page!

Dear loyal customers,
Thank you for your patience and loyalty through the last three years of transitions and a pandemic; As we strive to fulfill our vision of a one of a kind, full service canine center.
As some of you may know, over the last year Colleen Campbell has been working on remodeling part of the building into a training center and assembling a co-op of talented, specialized dog trainers. Our co-op consists of Alexo, Sue, and Colleen. Colleen is excited to be able to step in and bring the daycare and boarding back to the original vision that is a step above your average daycare by including training, enrichment and individualized care for each dog, every day. Our focus is to provide your dogs with a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment where they can practice appropriate play, good manners and correct physical fitness.
Over the next 3 months we will be making improvements such as:
Minimum of two staff members on every shift, one of which will be a certified trainer with years of experience
Training and enrichment sessions for each dog, every day
Free classes for owners so you can continue building your dog’s skills at home
All staff will be trained in canine body language, positive reinforcement training and certified with the IAABC
All staff and trainers will be required to continue advancing their knowledge and skills of everything canine to maintain our high standard of care
Over the next year we will be continuing to improve the facility and offer more services for you and your dog such as:
Adding a retail space
DIY dog wash
K9 Ninja obstacle course
Discounts on classes and workshops for daycare/boarding clients
Rentals of the off leash K9 activity area
