Residency Programs
Ok, so you had every intention of doing it yourself. Or maybe you tried, but just couldn't quite commit the time that it takes to really train a dog well. Or is it that you adopted an adult dog that came with a little baggage? Let's face it. These things happen. There's something to be said for letting a profession do what they are experts at doing. That's why we hire CPAs, house keepers, and tutors for our children, right? Let our team of certified dog trainers build a solid foundation of training, so that you don't have to. Don't worry, you'll get training too. And yes, you'll still have some 'maintenance' work to do. But we'll do the tough part for you. Sounds nice, doesn't it?
Your puppy is learning about the world around him from the day he is born! Ensure a great life with your dog by beginning training EARLY!
