Balanced Dog Training for All Breeds

We work to develop a relationship based on trust and communication between you and your dog.

Our Services

  • With Training "Sit" Happens

    We believe that a commitment to training your dog is a commitment to your dog’s mental and physical health. We offer specialized training to help develop your dog into a confident and obedient partner.

  • Group Classes

    Small groups of 5-7 similarly aged dogs. We offer a Puppy Development program, and an Obedience & Behavior Modification program focused on developing a solid obedience foundation that allows you to reliably communicate with your dog.

  • Private Classes

    1 on 1 training classes at our facility. These are 45 minute personalized sessions with the goal of developing a solid obedience foundation & beyond. We accept clients who have had previous training and help make advancements toward your goals.

  • Day School

    Day training Monday through Thursday, 9AM to 6PM. This is an opportunity for your dog to spend the day training and socializing in classes and around people and other dogs. This program also includes group classes for you to learn what your dog knows.

  • In-Kennel Training

    Your dog comes to stay with us for a more intensified training program. This allows us to have consistent time with your dog to meet your goals more quickly. This program also includes follow-up classes for you to learn what your dog knows.

  • In-Home Training

    We come out to train in your home and environment. This is a very tailored training approach to your specific needs. We travel to Brookline and the surrounding areas. Please let us know your location when inquiring.

Start your training journey with a free consultation!

We offer a free consultation to give you the opportunity to meet us and make sure we are the right fit for you and your dog. This 30-45 minute consult allows us to discuss your training needs as well as to make an in person assessment of your dog. Based on this meeting, we recommend a program best suited for your needs.
