Training Services for Your Dog

Blue Prints training and obedience classes put an emphasis on socialization and are intended to help you train your dog with easy and positive training methods your dog understands.  Classes also offer you and your pet a chance to work around other dogs, while private training may help you if the class situation is too difficult, or you are experiencing specific behavior problems. 

Our training philosophy is NOT to force your dog into good behavior, rather to enhance your pet’s already strong desire to please you.  We do not use choke or prong collars. Our training works with your pet’s individual personality and seeing them play among other dogs gives the trainer an opportunity to better understand your pet.

When Crosby, my two-
year-old terrier, bit me,
I was heartbroken! 
I turned to Melissa at
Blue Prints and she
assured me that we could modify his biting
behavior.  Two training sessions later, Crosby and I are communicating better and the biting behavior has stopped.
