EDUCATION

We offer Super Puppy, Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced EDUCATION PROGRAMS for the dogs that live onsite. We understand that each dog is an unique individual–as are you. We strive to place our dogs with the person or people that will find the greatest connection and ease with a specific dog’s personality.

We offer private and group lessons at our sites. Due to popular demand we have also started to offer Zoom trainings for those who live out of state. The results have equaled in person lessons so we are excited to offer this new option for those who are not near us.

We offer several training packages for individuals and their dogs at our locations in Washington state and Phoenix Arizona. For people who want to learn how to deeply connect with their dogs through our unique language based education program. We offer programs for obedience but we also work with those who are busy and simply want a deep connection with their dog, and a few basic safety commands, but do not have the time or the desire for dedicated, daily training sessions with their dog.

BABY PUPPY (All baby puppies come to you with a solid preschool experience)

Education is at a basic level. The pups have learned how to learn so your future education efforts will produce rapid results. All education is without force. Puppies are taught how to work in partnership and how to use their own mind during the training process.

We do offer fully-trained anxiety and PTSD support dog. We choose Shepherds with the nerve, independence of thought, and work ethic needed to do this very specific type of work. PTSD/Anxiety Shepherds will have a very low environmental distraction threshold and a strong handle focus. Not all dogs can do this type of work. We will work with you to find a dog that will be a good fit for your specific emotional needs and lifestyle. We train the dogs to the advanced level in obedience and public access. We stand behind all of our service dogs and guarantee they will work for you or we will replace the dog.
