How Do We Help Your Dog?
Our one-of-a-kind Enrichment Center is where dogs spend the day learning life skills such as problem solving, building focus, impulse control, creative thinking, body awareness, conflict resolution and more! Working on fun, purposeful, educational activities builds confidence and engages both body and mind.
We also allow plenty of time in the day for exploration, play, relaxation and free choice. We have scent gardens and nose work opportunities around our property, sand boxes, climbing structures, water play and more. We are always adding fun features and novel objects for the dogs to engage with and explore. Dogs work individually as well as in a group so students can learn social skills from other dogs and build confidence around others.
We understand all breeds are not the same, and not all dogs in a breed are the same. So we focus on the individual needs of each dog, learn who they are and what each dog wants!

Private tutoring
Our private tutoring sessions are for dogs who may not enjoy a classroom environment. Perfect for dog selective, reactive or shy dogs, enrichment can build confidence, improve behavior and build stronger bonds between dogs and their humans.
