Meet Lexi the Basenji! This pretty girlie is wrapping up an eight week Total Training Program with us this week. Her owners signed her up with the goals of improving her off-leash recall when she’s playing in the yard and teaching her not to lunge and bark at other dogs on walks.

Lexi is now participating in playgroups and nailing it each time we call her, and going for neighborhood walks peacefully. We’re excited to welcome her to Educational Daycare once her program ends!

Want to supercharge your dog’s training? We have 1️⃣ spot left to start an Intensive Training Program in 2025! Open to friendly dogs over 6 months old, we work with your dog during the day, Monday through Thursday, and coach YOU on how to maintain the training. You’ll get better results and achieve your goals way faster than DIY or weekly classes.
