DOG TRAINING
Group Dog Training
Train Your Dog While Simultaneously Improving Their Socialization Skills–All in a Positive and Friendly Environment
We offer Group Dog Training classes throughout the year to help dogs and their owners work on the fundamental aspects of good dog behavior. A Group Dog Training class is an ideal place to learn new skills, while also being able to practice them in real-life situations with other people and other dogs! The beauty of learning in a group environment is that fellow class members tend to be ideal partners to: help you practice proper human and dog greetings; help a reactive dog become more relaxed around other dogs; and give you practice in asking others to give your dog space if needed or to guide them in how to best approach your dog.

Puppy Training
Puppy training in the early stages of life is ideal to set up good habits that last a lifetime. Our trainers will also customize the program to target issues specific to your puppy’s situation and help to correct problem behaviors before they get out of hand.
Typical puppy training includes covering the following things: assistance with house-training, imprinting and socialization, basic obedience, good manners, breaking puppy habits like mouthing, and more! Puppy training is recommended for puppies who are between 8 and 16 weeks of age at the time of your first scheduled session.
Dog Training
If your dog has a behavior problem that you would rather live without, PCPSI can help. We offer one-on-one, in-home dog training sessions to help you with all types of dog behavior challenges like: teaching your dog how to walk on a leash without pulling, how to greet people without jumping on them, leash aggression, house-training issues, separation anxiety and other problems. Our knowledgeable trainers use positive reinforcement techniques that are easy for your dog to learn, and easy for you to implement with a little bit of supervised practice. Call or email us to set up training sessions for you and your dog(s).
