My dog hates being left alone, whines a lot, and destroys my house. Can you help?
We sure can! Our specialty is “problem” dogs, and that includes those who have severe separation anxiety. Sound sensitive, fearful or anxious dogs can take a bit longer as they require in depth training, but learning the right coping skills will help you and your furry friend find peace.

Is my aggressive dog beyond help?
Probably not! All dogs can be good dogs. What we call aggression is usually fear. Our trainers will work with you and your pet to discover the source of this emotion. We’ll help fix the issue by watching your dog and teaming up with you and your vet to make a customized behavior plan. True aggression cases are actually rare, but even they can be managed and often turned around. Don’t lose hope!
