Exceptional Dog Training

Classes are a lot of FUN!!! We provide a relaxed environment so you can learn to engage your dog, read their body language, and find the best way to get their attention and cooperation. We also address problem behaviors and answer any questions you may have.

We know dogs. We've worked together helping people and dogs of all ages and abilities since 2005.

We are members of organizations that promote a positive and scientifically based approach.
