Train With Us
We offer personalized, relationship-based dog training using primarily positive reinforcement. Services are designed to support both dogs and their people through every stage of learning.
Private In-Home Training
One-on-one sessions focused on building reliable obedience and everyday life skills such as sit, down, stay, recall, leash manners, and household boundaries. Training takes place in your home and real-life environments to support practical, lasting results.
Our private in-home dog training services are available throughout Medina & Lorain County and are designed to support real-life behavior and obedience skills in the home environment.
Board & Train Programs
An immersive training option where your dog stays with us and receives daily, structured training using positive reinforcement and relationship-based methods. Programs include follow-up support to help transfer skills back home.
Board and train programs are available to families in Medina & surrounding counties looking for structured, immersive training with ongoing support after their dog returns home.
Group Classes
Structured classes designed to help dogs practice skills around real-world distractions while learning alongside other teams. Group classes support consistency, confidence, and continued progress.
Group dog training classes are currently offered at Friendship APL in Elyria, OH and serve families who want to practice skills in a structured, supportive environment with real-world distractions.
