Puppy & Dog Training
DIVAS HAVE GOOD MANNERS AND LIKE TO HAVE FUN, FUN, FUN!
Private Puppy & Dog Training Services
Your goal is a well-trained companion, but freeing up six consecutive Wednesday nights or following up a 10 hour work day with a cross-town drive to a group training class isn’t always realistic. And so, in the interest of simplicity and speed, we offer a variety of in-home training programs for puppy dogs and the busy people who love them: Young Puppy at Home, Puppy Charm School and One-on-One Tutoring.
