Is the reason you are here because your dog WON'T LISTEN?

Is every day in your home or out walking your dog a STRUGGLE?

Is your dog pulling at the end of the leash or being reactive to other animals or people?

Does your dog leave you embarrassed by their behavior?

  • Now IMAGINE having people come to your home knowing your dog won't jump up on them. Instead of chaos and frantic greetings what if your dog waited calmly for permission to say hello?
  • IMAGINE having your dog wait calmly at the door to begin your walk and not running out with you having to chase them down yelling at your furbaby.
  • IMAGINE your dog responding to one command and not having to give the commands many times. What if your dog would respond to a single command of SIT, DOWN, COME, and NO?
  • IMAGINE taking your dog for a nice walk and having them by your side, not pulling you off your feet. IMAGINE if your dog was chasing a squirrel towards a busy road and you could save their life with the DOWN or COME command.

If you are looking for somewhere safe and friendly to take your furbaby to introduce them to new dogs or people, build their confidence in a safe and secure training facility, we are that facility.


We provide dog obedience training classes either in your home, out in public locations or at our secure training facility in North Fort Myers. We accept all ages and breeds and also have a large selection of training programs.


We can work together to turn your dog into a calm and obedient companion so that you can enjoy a relaxing and peaceful time both at home or out in public without the frustration.


We don't believe in dog training templates. There is no one way to train your dog to the level you desire. Every dog is different with different drives and they are different with what motivates them.


And then there is the HANDLER. Handlers are so different with how they learn to train with their dogs, perform the homework required and how they take in the instructions.


We would like to customize a training program for you and your dog that will last forever. We start with a sit down interview and evaluation with you and your furbaby to see where you want to go with the training, what issues are you having with your dog, and how do you prefer to train

Do you want to train with your dog so that the knowledge is learned both by you and your dog, so that the dog retains the knowledge, and you have the knowledge to maintain this training level? Or, do you want to trust us to get your dog started and then get you involved into the training process at some point?


Either way, unless you are a seasoned dog owner and handler and have been through a training program, you are going to need at least as much training if not more than the dog.


We would like to discuss and plan out what type of training best fits you and your dog. We offer numerous training options and will customize a complete training program for you. We offer several obedience training programs which can include but not limited to:

  • Group training at our North Fort Myers training facility
  • Private training one on one at the facility
  • Private in home training
  • Training out in public areas
  • Board and train programs where you leave the dog with us for a period of time
  • Day training where you drop off the dog in the morning & pick them up at night
  • And other custom classes

What we WILL NOT do is put an electric collar on your dog at the first class and begin punishing the dog for failing to obey a command they don't even know. We believe in positive motivational training using a reward system. You will hear this called force free training or positive reinforcement training.


All training is started on leash with an EFFECTIVE reward system. We firmly believe that nothing should be TAUGHT with the electric collar. For us it is only used in training after the dog knows every command. It is used for distance and off leash. It is like an invisible leash for the WHAT-IF moments.


We offer several training packages and would love to build one for you. Feel free to contact us to determine the best training plan for you.
