This was not your typical beginner's intro to training; it was here that Tyler learned how to handle and modify the behavior of even the most severely aggressive dogs. Following this experience Tyler went on to enroll in the Animal Behavior College and earn his formal certification as a dog trainer.

All of our programs for obedience training and behavior modification contain an element of one-on one training so we can create a program that is suitable for your personal needs, and your dog's personality. Our unique Board and Train program provides all the benefits of typical in-kennel professional training, without having to be separated from your dog for long periods of time. Our unique approach to behavioral wellness focuses on helping your dog achieve balance through instinctual fulfillment and enrichment as well as traditional training and behavior modification techniques.

With bootcamp you would pay per dog but with private lessons you pay per hour. Private Lessons can be a cost effective way to modify the behavior but in more serious cases Boot Camp may be a better option.
