Imagine having the best trained dog in the Neighborhood.

Your dog pulls on the leash, or insists on pushing out the door before you. Hates being groomed, is insecure and has anxiety. Your new pup greets humans and dogs with a little too much enthusiasm. We will show you how well behaved your dog can really be. Regardless of the breed or size, every dog is capable of learning to sit, heel, place (stay), lie down, crate, and come back when called.

Here at Against All Odds, our goal is to teach you and your pup to build a beautiful friendship filled with trust, love, and understanding. Good listening skills and good manners are the foundation we will help you and your family build in the comfort of your own home. 

With our guidance your pup will learn through balanced training, his/her name, to sit, lay down, confidence through play, not to bite or chew on your stuff, avoid aggression over toys or food, come when called, to walk well on a leash, to heel, to play off leash and listen while doing so. Want a dog that fetches? We can do that too! Let's learn how to play and succeed together.
