Games
Don’t let the title fool you. These are games to play with your dog to enhance their listening skills and their overall behavior. Play games such as: recall boomerang, shell game, my dog can do that, and so much more! This class is for ages 5 and up. I always say training that’s fun gets done!

Tricks
Certify your dog to become a trickster. The more you train your dog the more they will look to you for direction. Do you want your dog to stop jumping on guests? Train them to ‘perch’. Do you want your dog to stop barking? Train ’speak’ and ‘quiet’. Best part, you will have fun training new tricks to show off to your friends while seeing results in your dogs overall behavior.

What our clients say about A to Z Dog Training
“The training offered by Tammy is exceptional. The classes are well organized with clear and specific instructions that are easy to carry out during the sessions. When you make a reasonable effort and practice at home with your pet, you will have a dog that is social, well mannered and enjoys the training process, since only positive reinforcement is used.”
