Intro to K9 Nose Work
This 6-week course will introduce you and your dog to this exciting and fun detection-style sport. This course is designed to allow your dog to work at using his/her basic scenting instincts. This is done by using the dog’s curiosity and desire to hunt for what they love the most, toys or food. It’s a great way for you and your dog to have fun, and for your pooch to build confidence, exercise in a small place, while stimulating and exhausting that canine brain!

Private Training
If your dog’s unruly behavior is making you crazy, and you want results in a hurry, let us do the work. As professional dog trainers, we can teach your dog new behaviors and skills more quickly than you can, resulting in a better-behaved family pet. While there really is no quick fix, easy button or miracle training collar to train your dog, our use of positive reinforcement and science-based training can change behavior quickly.
Private Lessons
When you come to The Pine Hill Ranch Canine Center with your dog for one-on-one training, we can focus on the problems most important to you!
We also do private lessons for agility coaching, conformation handling, and competition obedience training.
Private lessons are $75 per hour.
