turday mornings. Private dog training lessons can be scheduled to fit your timetable. Our dog daycare has extended hours and drive-thru drop-off and pick-up. We're located in Tacoma, near Federal Way and Puyallup.

•WE KNOW OUR STUFF! - Our dog trainers are all extremely knowledgeable in the science of behavior and learning theory. In fact, we are the only dog and puppy training company in the area that requires all of our lead instructors to be Certified Pet Dog Trainers (CPDT).

•WE'RE POSITIVE! Our dog and puppy training classes give you great results using the easiest most up to date dog training methods. We never use choke chains, pinch collars, or any physical correction or punishment on our dogs or puppies. We treat all of our dog and puppy visitors as if they were our own.
