Let your dog learn and play while you’re away!

Tailored Programs Meet Your Dog Where He’s At.

We can help with puppy training, basic manners and training, as well as low-level reactivity. Your dog(s) must be good with people and other dogs in a home environment.

Reactivity Training:

It’s frustrating and embarrassing when your dog pulls and barks at everything.

Behind every dog and every behavior, there’s a story. Reactivity always has an underlying cause. We focus on is creating a relationship of trust, engagement,  and social support to help your dog struggle less with their triggers – and therefore not feel the need to act out.

Basic Manners:

Dogs are not born knowing the rules of Human Land.

Instead, they just know how to be a dog.

Our Basic Manners Board and Train helps dogs learn to thrive in a modern lifestyle – plus fundamental skills that help them integrate seamlessly into the family.

And, if your aspirations for your pup include breweries, hiking, or other adventures…we can help build these skills too.

Puppy Training:

It’s a myth that puppies can’t learn.

In fact, the best time for dogs to learn is before they are 6 months old. Puppies grow and develop so quickly! There’s not a moment to lose.

To be a stable, resilient dog, puppies need a wide variety of experience delivered in a strategic way. Our puppy board and train will set the stage and serve as a foundation for your life-long relationship.

“Working with Desiree was a total game-changer! The work we did went beyond just commands and recall, but it really opened my eyes to see my relationship with my dog, Poe in a new way. Not only do Poe and I have a stronger bond, but I constantly get compliments from visitors as to what a good dog he is!” – Victor Pierantoni

“Desiree’s training is equivalent to a Master Class. She teaches the human how to understand their pup. Once I understood my pup, it’s like he understood me! Highly recommend, in fact I’ve already referred someone!” – Dara Forester
