Our Goal...happy dogs, happy owners.
Our dogs are loving, loyal companions but an untrained dog can add stress to an already busy houshold. Training not only improves your life but your dog's as well with more walks, games of fetch and treats for him and less yelling and frustration for both of you. Our balanced approach will teach you to lead so your dog will follow. Imagine spending your time enjoying walks with your dog instead of being pulled down the sidewalk or relaxing while your dog lies on his bed chewing a bone instead of chasing him around the house with a stolen sock in his mouth.
Our Philosophy...a balanced approach.
Changing your dog's behavior often just takes a few small changes in the way you relate to him. We will show you how to manage the environment to minimize your stress and to maximize your dog's chances of success during the learning process. You will learn how to use your dog's instincts to teach him to fit into your pack. We will show you the power of reward-based training...how controlling your dog's access to the good things in life can give you control over your dog. Plus we will teach you how to react when he makes the wrong choices. Throughout, an emphasis on meeting the needs of your dog through play, exercise and environmental enrichment and socialization will be stressed. All training programs are customized to fit your family's needs and your dog's temperament.
Muttamorphosis...its about change.
Small changes in the way you relate to your dog can equal big changes in his behavior. Dogs are pack animals and happy to follow the rules as long as someone takes the time to show them what they are. Dog are learning all the time, let us show you how to be the teacher your dog needs.

Meet the Mutts...
Its hard to imagine my life without these two. They are my buddies, my fitness trainers, my children and my business partners. Often, they are as important a part of the training process as I am.
