How Is Your Pet’s Etiquette?

Petiquette trainers offer a variety of home training programs to give you the perfect pooch.

Puppy Starter Lessons

These lessons are designed to assist you with everything from “nose to tail” with your new puppy.  We cover everything from house training, chewing, jumping and chasing to nutrition.  We also begin introducing basic obedience, walking on a leash and much more. Begin training sooner – avoid problems later.

Obedience Training

Five basic commands (or more if you want) can make the difference between an animal that’s out of control and a pet that’s a pleasure to live with. Practical applications of sit, down, stay, come when called, wait at the door and go to place all set a solid foundation for a peaceful and rewarding relationship with your dog. 

Behavior Problems

Our specialty  Learn how best to communicate with your dog and begin solving behavioral issues with which you are most concerned. If your dog exhibits any or all of the following problems, give us a call. We are here to help.

Give us a call. “Training for the Perfect Pooch”


Can you and your pet dog benefit from dog training? If you’ve not been exposed to training and behavior modification before, then the chances are good that the answer is YES! But let’s check.

Here’s a little questionnaire you can use to assess your personal situation. Any and all of these situations can be addressed and remedied by training that’s both enjoyable and affordable. Life can be wonderful with a well-educated dog.

Petiquette Philosophy

The Petiquette Philosophy — tested during years of exposure to every kind of dog — is that just a few basic new behaviors can make a world of difference in the quality of your life and your dog’s, too. Contact Us with any kind of behavior problem, large or small. It’s our pleasure to help.
