Some of our classes include:

• Puppy Manners - This is a great start for young pups. You will be taught the proper way to housebreak your pet, how to correct chewing problems, adjusting puppy behavior, and approaching and handling your puppy. Your puppy will learn how to be confident and enjoy working with you.
• Basic Obedience - One-on-one training with you and your dog allows for a personalized training schedule. The primary goals are to learn how to walk comfortably on a leash, sit, stay, down, come and basic manners.  You will learn how to use your voice, posture, timing of praise and corrections and how to effectively give a correction.  We work with you and your dog individually so that you know how to troubleshoot problems as they come along every day. Your dog will learn to enjoy working with you because our methods focus on praise that comes directly from you and not food or treats. This type of training builds reliable trust and respect and will keep you and your dog happy partners for years.
• Advanced Obedience - Small sized classes offer individualized attention for dogs and handlers. The course focuses on socialization, advanced sit, stay and heeling with off-leash aspects.
• Specialized training - AKC obedience competitions, tracking/search techniques, agility, and even home invasion. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs and we can determine a training program that is designed to fit your needs.

• The CGC was started in 1989 and was designed to reward dogs that have good manners not only at home, but also in public.  The certification stresses responsible pet ownership and good dog manners.  It is a 10-step test that must be assessed by an AKC certified evaluator.  If passed, you and your dog will receive a certificate of completion from the American Kennel Club.
• The CGC certification is often the first step many dog owners take in training their dog.  It is especially important for dogs and owners that are anticipating going into therapy or service training.
   

• We are proud to say that we trained the first assistance dog for the Southern Tier Epilepsy Society of Southern New York. View the billboard of Hope and Sean for the Epilepsy Awareness Campaign. Hope is an assistance dog for a young boy that has epilepsy as well as autism. She is still in the earlier stages of her training, but has been a huge help to her family.  She offers comfort and reassurance for Sean during and after his seizures as well as a constant companion.
• We are currently working on obtaining an affiliation with Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dog Organization.  In the near future, we are planning on becoming evaluators for the program to evaluate new dogs for the program.
• Dogs can be trained for therapy work in various situations from hospitals, nursing homes, senior care facilities, assisted care facilities for mentally and physically challenged individuals, children's program such as Paws for Reading, and much more
• Contact us via e-mail or phone if you are interested in obtaining or training one of your existing dogs for therapy or assistance work.

• Brian and Jennifer have an extensive background in Animal Nutrition from Cornell University.  In addition, Brian conducted nutrition research on working sled dogs while at Cornell helping to develop an ideal diet for highly active dogs. 

• All of our dogs are fed Martin's.  They all maintain the perfect weight while still showing no signs of dry, flaky skin or a dull coat.  Our black lab has an amazingly shiny coat that is as soft as a puppy's fur.

• The price of one 55 lb. bag of Martin's is cheaper per pound than most higher quality dog foods found in the stores.  When you feed a high quality food, your dog can use more of the nutrients in the food, allowing you to feed (and waste) less food.
