Serving Evergreen & the surrounding foothill communities

                                             Why go to a one-size-fits-all training
                                            company when you can have a customized   
                                            training program made for you and your
                                            family at an affordable price?  Our goal is
                                            a well-rounded, happy and social family
                                            dog.  Our training and support will provide
                                            you with the tools and understanding to
communicate with your dog and to achieve your training and behavioral
goals.  

Whether you just want your dog to be able to go to the coffee shop and lay
quietly under the table, walk politely on a leash or you want to train your dog
to defend you -- we do that!

       We offer private & group lessons as well as board & train

Private Lessons

In Home Lessons

We start by meeting you, your family
and of course your dog in your home
environment.  We will discuss your
particular concerns and needs and
evaluate your dog.  After our initial
meeting, we will meet privately in your home and other locations to train and
introduce you and your dog to typical situations you will encounter and how
to positively work with your dog to reinforce desired behaviors.

Board & Train

Our board and train is a kind of a doggie Boot camp!!!!  Your dog will
receive 3-4 training lessons per day while staying in our lovely
Bed & Biscuit. Your dog will be exposed to as many different aspects of
real life as possible.

During the "working" part of their stay, they will travel with me to training
lessons with my other client’s dogs, to the coffee shop, shopping - basically,
wherever I go, they go.  This makes for perfect opportunities for
socialization and training.

Our main goal during a board and train is to allow your dog to become as
well rounded as possible with doggie socialization and life skills.

Below is an example of a typical board and train day:

  • Wake up and go feed the horses and walk the 5 acre property.  Why?
    So your dog gets used to seeing horses on a hike and will not bark at
    them on the trail. It also gets them exercise first thing in the morning.

  • Breakfast

  • First obedience lesson we go for a walk around Evergreen Lake and
    work on heal, sit down and stay

  • After  a nap, we go meet with other training client's and their dogs,
    errands and whatever else we need to do for the day.

  • After afternoon relax and downtime, it's time for play time with the
    other dogs and more socialization time

  • Nap

  • Dinner

  • Relax time with the family

  • Bedtime

"Sniff Games"
                   Is your dog game?

Scent detection training for you and your dog

“Sniff Games” is a new and exciting way to have fun with your dog! “Sniff
Games” encourages and develops your dog's natural scent detection
abilities by using their desire to “sniff” and their love of toys, food and
exercise. It's a great way for your dog to have fun, build confidence and burn
lots of mental and physical energy.

Each handler and dog team will learn the basic detection skills modeled
after working detection dog training. Ultimately, “Sniff Games” is about
interacting with your dog in a fun, positive way and building a stronger
connection. We welcome dogs of all breeds and over 4 months of age.  

Some scents we have trained for include: antler detection, drug
detection, explosive detection and search and rescue.
