Don't delay in getting specialized help. Correcting aggressive or problem behavior is always much easier if addressed early instead of months or years later. If you think that it is too costly to hire a private trainer now, compare it to a potential lawsuit which could easily run into thousands of dollars.

We are here to help you. We can travel to your home to quickly get to the foundation of the problem, or you can bring your dog in for one of our highly sought after rehab programs at our facility in Gilroy, California.

Our most popular program choice. Even though many dogs may be obedient at dog daycare, in dog training classes, or elsewhere, the home environment is often where we see the worst problems. Our fast and simple 2-3 hour dog behavior rehabilitation house call may be your answer! One of our behavior specialists comes to your home and works with you and your dog for up to three (3) hours. What we can accomplish together in this short time is often life changing!
Basic Obedience Board and Train
Start your puppy or newly adopted dog off on the right paw with our two week basic training program. Our three week program focuses on basic obedience, socialization, "Place" and boundary training, and will teach your pup/dog the manners it needs for polite society. The program includes socialization with both other dogs and people, house manners, handling for grooming and the basics of "sit", "down", "stay," "come", "place" and "heel" as well as crate training, all in an engaging and fun atmosphere that your dog will LOVE!
Board and Train
for Dogs with "Attitude"
Is your Young Pup now an adolescent, and starting to "talk back?" Is that jumping for attention now pushing people over? Have you had to call your dog back from the street outside your house more than once lately because he/she bolted out the door? Do you feel like "come" really means "when I feel like it, or maybe not at all" to your dog?
Are you at the end of your rope, and just need some extra help to make your world with your dog more peaceful? We can help!!! Just 3 weeks to a happier world with your dog!
This program is not appropriate for dogs that have shown aggression toward people or other dogs, including dogs with bite records.
Board and Train
(Specifically for Fearful and/or Aggressive Dogs)
Is your dog a wuss or a bully? Is your Great Dane afraid of the Chihuahua next door? Is your Beagle aggressive toward other dogs? If you have tried everything else and your dog is still fearful and/or aggressive toward other dogs , our individualized month-long program specifically designed for fearful and dog aggressive dogs is the program you need.
If your dog is human aggressive, we will most likely need to schedule an evaluation at our facility to determine the appropriateness of this program for your dog.
Many dogs that come through this program never showed any dog aggression until they were attacked by another dog, often while on a walk or at the dog park. Other dogs showed signs of fear which over time turned into being more and more reactive at the sight of other dogs. We see so many dogs who exhibit behaviors like this, and are very successful at turning them around.
