Candy is the best! She took a dog considered "stubborn with a streak of dog" and turned her into a well behaved, model citizen!!!

We provide in-home dog training in the Lakeland, FL area so that your program is completely customized to your needs and your schedule. Every dog is different, therefore every training program must be different.
Whether your pup needs a few basic manners, or a complete obedience program, we will work together to determine the program for you, so that you can be involved every step of the way.
​
We believe in teaching YOU to understand how to communicate with your dog.
