Socialization and Enrichment for a Well-Rounded Puppy
Why choose us?
Looking to give your puppy the best start in life? Our Puppy Training programs are designed to help your pup build essential skills in a fun, supportive environment while focusing heavily on socialization and exploring the 5 pillars of enrichment: intellectual, physical, social, sensory, and nutritional. These key elements set the foundation for a confident, well-behaved dog who thrives in any setting.
Whether you're introducing your pup to basic obedience or working on more advanced skills, our expert trainers will guide you through each step, ensuring your dog is set up for success. Socialization with other puppies and new experiences is a crucial part of their development, and we ensure it’s done safely and positively.
Our training is rooted in positive reinforcement, using rewards and praise to motivate your puppy in a way that’s stress-free and enjoyable. This method leads to fast, long-lasting results while making the learning process fun for both you and your pup.
At its core, puppy training is about creating clear communication between you and your dog, laying the foundation for a relationship based on trust and mutual understanding. It’s not just about teaching commands—it’s about helping your puppy grow into a well-rounded, happy dog. Let’s make training an adventure!
Our Academy Trainers, Ashley CCPDT CPDT-KA, Billie Jo CDT CMT, and Lydia CCPDT CPDT-KA are committed to helping you improve yours and your pets life.

Meet Ashley B - the extraordinary animal lover who's changing the game! Her journey in animal welfare is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It all began when Ashley joined a shelter as a high school volunteer, and her love for animals blossomed into a dedication that's touched countless lives. Today, she's the Adoption & Behavior Supervisor at HSSC, and her passion for four-legged friends has earned her prestigious certifications like the CPDT-KA® and an unwavering commitment to self-improvement.
But Ashley's heart isn't limited to the shelter - she's also a devoted partner to her husband Zach and an adventurer at heart. They love exploring the great outdoors with bonfires, camping, and dirt biking, all while listening to a diverse range of music from metal to rap and country.
At home, Ashley's furry family is a testament to her big heart, with multiple pit bull mixes and two senior kitties, including China, a long-term shelter resident, and Letty, a young pittie with mange. Ashley's dedication to preserving the bond between pets and their families is truly remarkable - this is one animal enthusiast that's changing the world, one paw at a time!
