All of our canine coaches have completed professional canine training certifications from reputable organizations such as the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) or the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). These certifications require trainers to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in areas such as canine behavior, training techniques, and ethical practices. In addition to completing programs through university education.
Our training is 100% team work. Most canine challenges or those lacking obedience is due to lack of human knowledge or human error, so we strongly encourage at least one the family member to attend training sessions.
We have all training areas gated off and during most sessions keep a locked door. On the days that our facility has daycare, the door remains locked as canines are able to free roam. If there is any opening of any doors, we ensure that all are placed back in the generalized area where there are gates present. Ensuring safety during play we have multiple rooms that have, a structured environment and a number of team members meeting ratio 1 person to 4 nines. This way we can oversee and ensure that if there is any rough play it is able to cease.
During training services if there was an emergency to arise, our staff is CPCR trained with first aid as well. If it's something that we cannot handle in house, we will then go to the closest veterinarian emergency center or to the families primary vet. If left in our care the same rules apply- we will follow the form provided and take the canine to the closest emergency veterinarian center or the canine's primary vet.

We also begin older canines in the room with our puppies, so they don't feel so overwhelmed with canines that may be their size or larger.
