Private Lessons
Rates:
$90 per 60 minute Manners lesson
$125. per 90 minute lesson with behavior assessment
If you'd prefer a customized approach for your dog's training, or if you and your dog need a little extra preparation before joining our larger group classes, we have extra help available. Dogs that are over excited, stressed out, lunging at others, barking excessively, or anxious/nervous need a little extra help from us before they are ready to attend a larger group class. To get started, please fill out a registration request form and select your "Private Lesson" as your class.

Dog Park and Nature Trail
General Information
Dog Park
The Paws4ever Dog Park is a fenced three-acre off-leash socialization and play area for your dog. The park is located on the grounds of the Felicite Latane Animal Sanctuary / Paws4ever and is open almost 365 days a year from 8 a.m. until dusk. Please note there is no separate area for small dogs at this time. Dog Park memberships are available for an annual fee of $60 for one dog plus $30 for each additional dog.
For those interested in Dog Park membership, we strongly recommend attending at least one obedience class before joining the park. Your dog must respond to your requests to come to you reliably to maintain dog park safety for all members. Dog must be at least 7 (seven) months old prior to joining, and prospective members may be assessed for basic appropriate social conduct and safe handling ability prior to being approved as members.
Remember that it is your responsibility to control your dog. Having your dog spayed or neutered is strongly recommended and no female dogs in heat are permitted in the dog park. Documentation of DHLPP vaccinations, rabies and Bordetella must be provided upon application for membership
Nature Trail
The Paws4ever Nature Trail is now open! The 2 mile primitive trail is a beautiful route through the woods and includes access and views of Toms Creek. Nature Trail memberships are available for an annual fee of $24 for one dog and $12 for each additional dog in same household. Dog Park members may access the Nature Trail for an additional $12 per year.
All dogs must be on leash while on the Nature Trail.
