Little Rock's #1 Training and Behavioral Specialists
As a Little Rock dog owner, you’ve got some options for which dog trainer to choose. And that’s great.
So why would you choose us? Well, I can tell you some of the typical things. I’m an AKC Evaluator for their CGC program, for their Community Canine program, for their Urban Canine Good Citizen, and for their Trick Dog programs. I’m also an AKC Star Puppy Instructor. What that means is that the AKC (American Kennel Club) has given me the responsibility to give out titles and certifications for their various programs and to be able to run their Puppy Star Program. I’m also certified by the DVG as an IGP Helper. What that means is I’m qualified to be that ‘bad guy’ who gets bit when training sport and protection dogs. And I’m also one of only two dog trainers in the entire state of Arkansas that is certified as a NePoPo® Gold Instructor, Trainer, and a GM, meaning I train other trainers.
Our programs are designed to not just teach your dog a few commands, that you have to keep repeating every time you want them to do something. Of course we will teach your dog all the common commands, but we don’t feel like that constitutes a “trained dog”. A trained dog is one that routinely does what’s expected without always being told to do so. A trained dog should not be another chore or source of anxiety in your life, but rather a complimentary addition to your family that you can enjoy. That’s our goal.
Puppy Discovery Program
Our “Puppy Discovery” program is designed for puppies between 8 and 20 weeks old. During these 5 lessons, we will help you lay a foundation that will set you and you’re puppy up for peace of mind and a solid future together. This early stage in a dog's life is critical for setting expectations and routines that your puppy can recognize.
We will focus on:

Our On-Cue In 5 Weeks Program is a one-on-one private lessons program designed to completely transform your dog into a well-balanced and reliable companion that you can be proud to take anywhere. Each lesson is approximately an hour long. During this hour we will work with your dog and show you how to practice the exercises for that week.

Dream Dog Stay & Train Program
Our Dream Dog Stay & Train Program is designed for us to do all the heavy lifting for you. This program is perfect for the person who is planning on going on vacation, cannot manage the time to devote to one-on-one lessons, or the person who would simply prefer for someone else to help bring out their dog's full potential.
Your dog will stay with us on our 8-acre dog paradise, and in 3-4 weeks, will learn:

Hours:
All boarding dogs must be checked out by 12pm on the day of pick-up.

Daily Activities:
We begin each day by allowing each dog to play and relieve themselves. Following this morning break, we begin by feeding each dog according to their prescribed feeding schedule provided by the dog's owner. For the remainder of the day, we repeat this process, also taking time to take dogs on walks around our 8-acre property, to add some enrichment to your dog's stay with us.
