About Our Courses
We offer a variety of courses to fit your needs. All family members are encouraged to join in with the training. This allows us to see your dog in their environment and witness any behavioral problems that you’d like addressed. Our certified trainer will work one-on-one with you, your family and your dog guiding you on how to correct unwanted behaviors efficiently, and positively.
Common Problems Include:
Excessive barking, separation anxiety, biting, unwanted jumping, aggression,
pulling on lead, recall, potty training, chewing, anxiety triggers - we cover it all!
Puppy

How to control a dog emergency
Basic First Aid
Learn how to effectively communicate with your dog to become a great leader they will listen to.

Group Training
For pet owners that have small issues that don’t require a full course, or that would like to socialize their dogs - we offer group classes. Group classes have limited availability and are subjective to the weather because we do the classes outdoors. We do these classes once a week and consider them single courses, so you can sign up for as many as you need to.
To participate in group classes, call 937-559-6799 to reserve your spot!
Boarding
Our boarding services are setup to accommodate dogs in a more pampered environment. During their stay, your dog will be treated just like a member of the family. Our goal during boarding is to provide the closest thing to home for your dog while you’re away.
Dogs that participate in boarding services must be neutered/spayed (unless too young) and up to date with their vaccinations. Pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the needs and duration of the boarding. Contact us to discuss your dog’s needs & get a quote.
Board & Train
Board and train is a service that puts your dog’s training in our capable paws. During your dog’s stay they will be taught all the fundamentals needed for a successful life with their owner. We believe in implementing structure to your dog starting with boundary training and reducing behaviors such as jumping, nipping, barking, and more. Your dog will be taught one on one with our lead trainer to maximize efficiency.

socializing your pet
Pet Socialization is always done one-on-one first with our trained dog Kenji. This helps to ease your pet into meeting and being around unfamiliar dogs before doing a group session. We cover how to properly introduce your dog to another animal, and when it’s appropriate to intervene. Sometimes this can take a few sessions depending on a case-by-case basis, but is included with your training package. If you would like to do pet socialization without another course, contact us for a quote.
E-Training
We offer almost all of our courses online as well as in person. Sometimes, it’s hard to schedule around having a visitor in the home. We understand that everyone has different schedules and sometimes prefer to do things online with how easy it is. Since there is no traveling, the E-Training course waives travel fees and is slightly more affordable than standard in-home training. We typically use Skype to conduct E-Training sessions, but we also utilize Facebook messenger video chat and Discord. An hour prior to meeting online, we ask that you allow your dog time to relieve themselves then ‘suit up’ your dog with their leash, collar and/or harness to get them ready and prepared for training. During the session, we will guide you through the course the same way that we would if we were in your home with you. This is also an 8 week course, where we meet once a week at a scheduled time.
*The only courses we do not offer through E-Training is socialization/boarding services because of the importance of being present for those particular courses.
