  • The open gym is our answer to not having a place to practice your skills where you feel comfortable before taking it out into the real world.

    As a dog owner first and dog trainer second I know first hand that sometimes training out in the real world can be stressful. You never know if an off leash dog is going to rush up to you and your dog or if you will be bombarded by well meaning dog lovers who can’t take no for an answer.

    The dog gym is your opportunity to practice your skills in a more structured environment and get the coaching you need to help you and your dog feel safe. We want to help you concentrate on your dog first. You can use this time to practice so you can feel comfortable when you go out into the real world with your dog.

    The dog gym is only open to past board and train clients and private lesson clients. We need everyone to be on the same page. I also realize that some other companies have similar philosophies as us in which case you may be eligible to participate. Email us and we can discuss where you are at.
