Our 6,000 square foot facility provides your dog with large, matted training areas and an expansive indoor / outdoor play area.

WE’RE CONVENIENT - Our dog training classes are available Monday through Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. If you miss a class due to illness or vacation it is easy to make it up on a different night! We're located in Tacoma , near Federal Way and Puyallup.

WE'RE POSITIVE! - Our dog and puppy training classes give you great results using the easiest most up to date dog training methods. We never use choke chains, pinch collars, or any physical correction or punishment on our dogs or puppies. We treat all of our dog and puppy visitors as if they were our own.
