Our lives are social, but sometimes our dogs are not! This situation is very common, and we help to support you with training for socializing your loved pup! We focus on:

​

  • Frequent social situations that may trigger unwanted behaviour

  • Helping your dog interact with other dogs in a safe, non-pressured manner

  • Dealing with overexcitement

​

This may include a little roleplay (hehe), but we help solve problematic concerns.

We dedicate an entire session to you and your pup. We take in all your woes and help guide you to a more balanced life. This will help give you a better understanding of your pup, guaranteed.

​

  • Easy problem-solving and solutions that may help achieve the lifestyle you want

  • Progress, not perfection - we strive to under promise and over deliver on our efforts

  • Direct communication though the Online Portal for follow-up questions
