Obedience Programs

Obedience training allows the owner and dog to learn the skills needed in order to establish leadership, foster communication, and build and/or strengthen their relationship.

Obedience training lays the foundation of ground rules for the dogs behavior at home, in public, and expectations when around other dogs, animals, and people whom they've never met before.

Private classes include: AKC Puppy STAR, AKC Canine Good Citizen, and AKC Urban CGC.

We also offer a Board and Train Program 

Board and Train Programs

The Board and Train program is an ideal solution for owners wanting their dogs trained while they are away on vacation or business. It is also a wonderful option for those with busy schedules and desire to have their dog obedience trained without having to attend weekly training sessions. Our trainers focus on obedience training and/or dog behavior modification problems that need to be addressed.

Our Board and Train program allows the dog to receive  care and training in a way that will lay the foundation for long term success.

Service Dog Training

Service animals are animals that are trained to perform special tasks that aid their owners with their disability.

Diabetic alert dogs are medical assistance dogs that have been specifically trained to use their keen sense of smell to identify the changes in blood chemistry that occur in blood glucose levels. Dogs are trained to alert their owners to these changes prior to symptoms occurring.

Psychiatric service dogs (PSD) are medical assistance dogs that have been trained to do tasks that assist their handler with a psychiatric disability or a mental disability. The services that these dogs perform vary greatly depending upon the condition that they are specifically trained to work with. Service dogs of this type have training to detect the onset of psychiatric events and respond to lessen the severity of the episode, shorten its duration, or to seek help when necessary.

Various Service dog training options are available. Options include:

• Obedience training

• Public access training

• Glucose scent training/Task training

• Individuals wanting to self train their own diabetic alert dog/PSD, yet wanting the support of a certified dog trainer

• Phase One/ Phase Two diabetic alert dog training or Psychiatric service dog

Puppies

Bark to Basics Canines

Our breeding program specializes in raising Goldendoodles and Labrador Retrievers. Our objective is to breed healthy and well-tempered puppies that have the health, aptitude, and temperament to go into pet homes as well as to go on to become service dogs. To achieve our objectives, we subject our breeding dogs to rigorous health and temperament testing and we raise our puppies on our advanced curriculum which exposes them to enriching experiences appropriate to their developmental stage. We use temperament testing to provide information to our families that will allow us to match them with a puppy that will be the best fit their lifestyle.
