We focus on achieving a calmer mindset with your dog through utilizing dog psychology and balanced dog training methods. The owner is an integral part of this process. We want you to be invested in your dog's training, so that after training with us, you can be successful on your own!
*** Owner commitment outside the training sessions is required in any of our training programs. ***
All programs are from puppies as early as 8 weeks to seniors!

All our training programs will focus on socialization, leash manners, healthy play, confidence-building exercises, crate training, and the "art of being calm".

One-on-One Trainer

A private training session with a dedicated trainer for your dog. The trainer can customize the training plan to address specific behaviors or concerns unique to your dog. This program goes from puppies at 8 weeks of age to adults, and dogs with severe anxieties, aggression, or other challenging behaviors that might be difficult to manage in a group setting. The trainer can provide more individualized instruction and guidance during the session.

We can come to you!

Training can often be done in your home environment, allowing the trainer to observe behaviors in familiar settings. The trainer also can travel to conduct socialization and training outside the home in dog friendly locations. Our adult program is commitment-based, which means we work with you until all of your goals are met, no matter how lengthy the training is. Our puppy program is a great first step to building a solid foundation with your young pup.


We routinely address the following:

Excessive Barking
Social Anxiety
Doorbell Excitement
Pulling on the Leash
Door Bolting
Impulse Control
Food Aggression/Resource Guarding
Desensitization to Sounds
Building Confidence in a Shy or Fearful Dog.........and so much more!

Structured Hike or Dog Walk

A structured dog walk or hike is more than just a casual stroll around the block. It's a focused training session and bonding experience disguised as a walk in the park. Structured dog walks or hikes deliberately incorporate obedience training, socialization, or physical challenges into the regular walk. This is also a great way to help more fearful or anxious dogs relax. As well as, release any excess energy for higher energy dogs before their regularly scheduled one-on-one training sessions!

Doggie Day Training Camp

Windham, CT and surrounding areas!


This is very similar to a board and train program just your pup comes home each day after being at camp!
Think structured doggie daycare but we #havefunwith it! This includes a customized training plan for your dog being conducted at our Doggie Day Camp or in Dog friendly locations as a field trip!

The dog gets to continue their time at home with their owners to decompress each night with follow-up feedback from the trainer!

We hope to move into board and train programs as we expand in 2026!

Enrichment Program

Our enrichment program creates a varied and stimulating environment for your canine companion. Try these fun and engaging activities that will allow your pets to explore their own home or walk in a new and exciting way! With activities like snoot detective (scent activities), fur missile (fetch, tug, etc.), scuba squad (water play activities), and much more! We bring not only our knowledge and skills on dog psychology to share but we bring the fun too! This is our holistic approach to dog training! A strong bond with your dog is built on these three principles: Trust, Respect, and Love!

We believe in affordable dog training options so that you and your canine can live a happy and healthy life together without the extra financial stress!
