Dog Training Evaluation

Contrary to what you may have been told or what another company may try to sell you, not all dogs can be trained in the areas you wish or within the timeframe you think.  With this in mind we require a “No Obligation” Dog Training Evaluation for each dog an owner may be looking into having trained for a specific purpose. The best results will come with training each dog within their true capabilities.
