walking
Any stay-at home dog will tell you, sleeping on the couch and working on chew toys is not as easy as it seems.
Whether it’s a stroll through the neighborhood or a romp at the park your dog and his walker will have a fetching good time! For young puppies, we are happy to visit your home to clean up the wee-wee pads or newspaper & spend some play time (or lap nappy sleep time) with your little one.

get stronger.We will happily install new basic manners,
hone and polish those you’ve started,
or even teach a trick or two!
You will receive a daily write up on our training session
