Our Services

  • Pre-school for puppies! These classes provide your 8- to 14-week-old puppy enrichment and socialization with other puppies.

  • Well-mannered dogs are bright stars in our constellation! We have four levels of manners classes that help dogs learn and refine their skills.

  • This workshop is an opportunity for our Manners students to learn new tricks and have more fun with their humans.

  • As a pup works through class levels, they will periodically have the opportunity to test for various AKC certifications along the way. It’s always optional, but a cool way to mark star progress over time.

  • Meet with an instructor to introduce your dog and discuss pup-human goals to formulate a training plan.

  • Periodically we’ll offer specialty workshops to help our dog stars focus on specific skills. Keep an eye out for workshops like: Leash-pullers, Big-barkers, and Bouncy-greeters.
