When a dog has been taught to heel, you can take them more
places so let us help you enjoy walking with your dog. 





Please bring HIGH value treats, a standard nylon collar and 6-foot leash. No
Choke Chains, Prong (pinch) collars, or electronic collars please.

vaccination information. (Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepetitis, and
