Group Training Classes

We show you our secret techniques and walk you through every step of gaining control of your dog. Learn how to become the leader in your dog’s eyes. This requires more hands- on experience on the owner’s behalf, as you will have homework to complete each night.  Group classes are also a great place to socialize your dog (unless you have a reactive dog and we have options available for them) and observe how other dog owners build a stronger relationship with their k9 companion as well. For ONLY $150, classes meet once a week for 6 weeks.

We require a non-refundable pre-payment for classes.

Tracking/ SAR

Our Tracking program is intended to cover training such as ordinary and specialized scent tracking or searching. This training covers areas such as Search and Rescue (SAR) – (human scent), dog scent and family search programs.   This program will teach you the art, and your dog the skills required for scent tracking.   A qualified dog will learn to search and find on command, and accurately alert.  It also teaches the handler how to handle and command this new tool, and properly reward and reinforce behaviors.

Your dog will continue to be the same friendly dog you’ve always had, and will not change his behavior with the family or friends.

This type of training is very specialized, and requires a dog that will test positive for this type of work.  If you are interested in this program, please call us (919-423-8954) for an appointment for a free evaluation to identify if your dog is suited for this program. If you do not have a dog presently, and are interested in this topic and search possibilities, call us for more information.
