You love your dog, but you also want to live in peace and harmony with your dog. You want a dog who is polite and manageable at home and in public, and who will not embarrass you in front of other people. You want a dog who reduces your stress and brings joy to your life, rather than adding to your stress! And, of course, you also want your dog to be happy. All of these things are possible!

Dog Training Classes
Are you ready for a more manageable, polite dog? Does your dog completely ignore you when you need it most or listen well at home but not when guests visit or while outside? Our classes focus on giving you the skills and knowledge you need to have a dog that will respond to you in the real world.
Private dog training and behavior modification
Are you struggling to find the time to train your dog or does your dog have more serious problems such as anxiety or aggression? Our behaviorist will come to your home and train your dog for you while you work, take care of the kids, or just take a much needed break! Day training is very convenient and easy for you, and – more importantly – exceptionally effective for your dog.

Kristina is an excellent, patient, and very knowledgeable trainer. I brought my rescue dog Rex to her to work on socialization and basic obedience. We ended up being able to work up to some of the more advanced training. Kristina was great with the dogs and the people, and always made it fun!”
