Clicker training is part of the positive reinforcement method that uses a marker to let your pooch know precisely when to do the things you want them to. The training uses a marker that creates a sound as a way to mark a moment.
This clicker can be anything from a noisemaker device to snapping your fingers to blowing a whistle. However, it should be a sound that is distinct from what you used to communicate with your pooch. Something that your furry friend is not familiar with yet.
The click sound should always be followed by a reward. In doing so, your dog will understand that the sound will grant them a reward. An example would be when you teach them the basic commands such as to ‘sit.’ Instruct your dog to sit, and at the exact moment their butt hits the ground, do the click, and follow it up with a reward.

We took our 18 month old Goldendoodle for obedience training. We loved it and so did he. We will sign up again for his “middle school” session.

Parker and Chanel always come home from daycare happy and sleepy! Everyone there is so sweet and it’s obvious that they all really care about the pups. I love that I can check on them online while I’m away at work too! Great facility, great people! It’s the first place I’ve taken them where I would feel perfectly comfortable boarding them.

Our German Shepherd likes it there to.

Our dogs have been boarded, groomed and to day care. They are happy to be there and we have no guilt leaving them. The staff is a pleasure to talk with, loving to our dogs, and very accommodating for last minute plans.

I love the way they run the whole operation. They care about your four legged baby from the time you drop them off until you pick them up .

Our dog Bailey has been to daycare several times in the past year & she’s always had a great experience! Bringing her to daycare has allowed her to socialize with other dogs in a controlled environment. Highly recommend all the staff, they truly care about the animals they are caring for!
