Behavior Matters in how we teach our new furry housemates on what we expect from them in our home. Positive training creates animals that like to learn and greatly impact your bond. Having a little one can be fun, but also a challenge. It is our job as a new pet parent to help them learn appropriate play toys, or the best elimination areas are. By helping your pet learn that their behavior can influence the environment creates eager learners and gives them a choice to work with us resulting in them offering behaviors that work for them, and for us.

These training sessions are to help set you and your new fur baby up for the best success. We cover all the common puppy or kitten behaviors as well as address behaviors that your pet is demonstrating that are concerning to you.
