Working Dog
Our working dog programs are for both the paid and the unpaid professional. We have a diverse skill set and have a reputation for doing it right. For over 25 years we’ve built a reputation for helping problem teams get back on track! We know dogs and understand the dog-human relationship based on decades of experience. We believe in building a solid foundation based on proven methodologies. We build on strengths while shoring up weaknesses. We address teams based on their proficiency level and training goals. Our programs are designed to train students to access a dog’s mood, instincts, and drive levels to better understand internal motivation. We then build and maintain a training program tailored to each individual team’s needs. Our end goal is a successful cooperative working relationship. If you’re looking for thorough instruction with knowledgeable experienced instructors, then give us a call. We may be just what you, your department, team or origination is looking for!
Group Training:
Working Dog group classes are limited due to the diverse nature of the work. Although throughout the year group opportunities do become available. We are also available for Workshops/Seminars at our location or yours! We also provide a Trailing School for Law enforcement agencies.

Working Dog sessions are typically a 1-hour private lesson but sessions can run over or under depending on the learning goals set for the session and the handlers and dog’s comprehension of that session (we are building a team). We are looking for quality over quantity. This is a customized personal training program designed to work at the speed of you and your dog to obtain specific operational goals. Board n Train:
