Board and Train
Our Board and Train service is a great option for many pet owners with unique situations.
Board and Train consists of a multi-week “jumpstart “ or “boot camp” to give your dog a great start on mastering the fundamentals of good behavior or to learn new skills for a performance sport, household manners or even service work.
Our expert trainers have experience in a wide variety of disciplines and use positive reinforcement methods in a balanced training program.
We will personalize a training program for your dog that will address the behavior issues most important to you.

Come have a great time with your dog, learn cool tricks, and earn a title! Is your dog a therapy dog or do you plan to go that route when testing resumes? Having your dog perform tricks is a great ice-breaker when you visit.

You will learn enough tricks in this class to get a novice trick dog title! Your fee will cover one title from the organization of your choice (DMWYD! or AKC).
Rally Obedience
Teach your dog to read! LOL! Seriously, rally obedience is a dog sport which uses specific behaviors which are written on signs. YOU will read the signs and ask your dog to perform the skill. The signs are linked in such a way that you and your dog will complete a particular route or course. This class will teach you and your dog to perform the skills at the novice and intermediate levels. We will also video your performances if you would like to submit them for virtual rally novice and virtual rally intermediate titles.
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.
