This service is a 2-hour workshop especially designed to help answer any questions you have about dog training or

over the phone or in-home depending on the situation being discussed. This service is for new dog owners, introducing
a new dog to your dog, teaching children how to properly handle their dog, questions about what is healthy dog-dog
play, or if you are thinking about getting a second dog.

many commands!  It has really helped me to
