  • Please wait with your dog in your car. Staff will meet you at your car and will show you the way from there. A leash is required. If you wait in your car as directed, the staff that greets you through your car window will notify Francisco.

  • We recommend following our YouTube channel for access to our tutorial videos to help you train your dog to load up in the car. We also recommend hopping in on our Live Q+A on Facebook for support. We could also come to you for an in home training session.

  • We accept cash, check, and credit card payments. There is an added 3% fee on credit card transactions. Payment is due at the time of reservation and is non refundable/not exchangeable.

  • We regularly use the slip lead leash, Herm Sprenger Prong Collar, and Dogtra E-collar as well as treats, verbal praise, and physical touch. In addition, we use crates, training tables, and crops. If you oppose the use of any of these tools, we will not be a good match, and we respect your decision to find another trainer.
