Trending Excellence
Our innovative approach, combining the benefits of daycare with the expertise of a professional trainer, has gained significant traction. Your pup gains social skills and receives targeted guidance during crucial developmental stages.
Skillful Socialization
Supervised play and exposure to new environments help your puppy develop confidence, adaptability, and lifelong social skills in a safe, supportive setting.
Professional Expertise
Our skilled trainers bring years of hands-on experience and deep knowledge of animal behaviour. They ensure each session is tailored to your puppy’s needs.
Our Training Philosophy
We adhere to the force-free, ethical training principles of the Karen Pryor Academy. Training is teaching, and an important part of quality animal care.
We use positive reinforcement to shape desired behaviours and improve relationships between people and their animals.

“When I adopted Lyla as a rescue from the humane society in the British Virgin Islands, the only thing I knew about her was that she was young, and friendly. We didn’t know if she had ever lived in a house, or even if she was house trained. Andrew’s patience and consistency with her has made her the wonderful canine citizen she is today. His passion for understanding her behavior and needs translated into customizing a training plan not just for her, but for me as an owner. He taught me how to be consistent and fair with her so that she would want to work with me and be a good girl. She is the best girl and my favourite girl 11 years later!”

“Andrew is AMAZING he really takes the time to train your pup and is helping you at home every step of the way with his what’s app support! I work in the animal care industry and finding a trainer for my puppy was very difficult, even with asking other professionals in my field. Andrew does an amazing job and is very patient. Highly recommend for anyone starting out and needs help with the basics!”
