OUR SERVICES

Professional Dog Training Experts

The dogs that come to Dog University for training range from puppies learning basic obedience to dogs (of all ages) with aggression issues, and everything in between. Because we tailor our training curriculum to the specific needs of your dog rather than a set list of expectations, we recommend a behavioral evaluation before scheduling training, so we have an opportunity to come up with the best training program that we can for you and your dog.
