Our Training Programs

Why Choose Us For Professional Dog Training.

Board and Train: Our board and train program is perfect for busy owners who want lasting results. Your dog will stay with us and receive daily, hands-on training to address behavior issues, build obedience, and improve confidence in real-world settings.
Puppy Training: Start your pup off right with our puppy training program designed to build a strong foundation. We focus on socialization, crate training, leash manners, and essential obedience to help shape a confident and well-mannered dog. Private Lessons with Shelby are currently offered only in select areas surrounding Harwood, MD, within a limited service radius. Please contact us to confirm availability based on your location.
Day Training: Day Training: Our Day Training program is ideal for owners who want professional daily training without a full board and train. Drop your dog off Monday through Friday in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon — for 2 to 6 weeks depending on your dog's goals. Your dog gets structured, hands-on work every day while still coming home to you each night.
Boarding (For Clients) : Going out of town? Let your dog stay in a structured, safe, and familiar environment with us. Our boarding services are available exclusively for clients and include routine care with optional refresh training sessions.
