Serving the St Croix Valley of WI & MN

Our Training Programs are Uniquely Focused on You & Your Canine Friend. Our FORCE FREE training is a line of communication to help your dog learn what you what him to do, not forcing him to do it. No pinch collars, no choke collars...we don't use them because pain is never used with our training methods.

Tricks for the fun of it

11/10-12/8  $85  no class 11/24
Our tricks class is designed to be a fun, challenging, and rewarding class for you and your dog. Learning how to teach your dog tricks is a great way to keep your dog busy and active, but most of all, dog tricks are a lot of fun.   Trick training is awesome for dogs of all ages with or without prior training.  Yes, you can train an old dog new tricks! Our K9 Coach will instruct you on your “tricky” journey with our beginning tricks class learning some basics such as shake, high five, wave, spinning, take a bow, sit pretty, and more.  Bring lots of small treats and a hungry pooch.







Nose Games       coming in 1/15

no prior training needed - all ages welcome including senior dogs



We all pay lip service to the fact that dogs have a sharper sense of smell than humans. But just how much sharper? Humans can pick out odors in concentrations of parts per million. Dogs can detect them in parts per trillion. In other words, their sense of smell is literally a thousand times – at least a thousand times better than ours!  That puts dogs in a whole different world of perception. But even though we don’t live in that world with them, we can play there. In this class we will play scenting games (I like to call them Sniffing Puzzles) that are not only fun but will help exercise his doggy brain and encourage him to pay attention to you.  Bring lots of small treats and a hungry pooch.
