We require all dogs to have a current Rabies vaccine (1-year or 3-year), Bordetella with boosters every 6 months, and a Distemper/Parvo vaccine (1-year or 3-year). We do not require but strongly recommend Leptospirosis and Canine Influenza vaccines, along with flea and tick prevention, and that dogs have no active fleas or contagious viruses to help keep our environment safe for all.
For puppies under 4 months we require Bordatella and at least 2 rounds of Distemper/Parvo.

In the United States there is no standard, official certification for dog obedience training. Our team has attended multiple academies and schools, making sure to further their education and be the best trainers they can be.
Our trainers are also Canine Good Citizen trainers and testers through the American Kennel Club.
Our trainers are also actively training in their selected dog sports of their choice to put themselves and their training methods to the test.

When most people think of e-collars, they think of shocking a dog into submission. This is how many untrained individuals use their e-collars on their dogs, leading to a bad reputation for the training tool. Yes, using an e-collar this way is cruel and extremely unethical. And we never use an e-collar in this way.
When used correctly, e-collars can be an ethical, effective way to get your dog’s attention.
We don’t use e-collars as a “shocking” device. Instead, we use it as a way to tap your dog on the shoulder. For example, when your dog is far away, we use the e-collar to tell them that we want them to return. We spend weeks training them on-leash up so they know what these signals mean.
