I am Thomas Sauerhoefer and I have over 29 years of experience training all breeds. As the Training Director for the Marysville Schutzhund Club, I understand that all dogs are different and that each dog needs individual attention and motivation to be properly trained. With my vast experience, I can help with both training problems as well as any behavior problems that you and your dog are facing including digging, jumping, chewing, and barking.

Puppy Starter Kit - $1000 This is a one month training program that new puppy owners can take advantage of before delivery of their new puppy. At 8 weeks, the puppy is introduced to the crate, kennel and traveling in a car. House training is started and the puppy begins to learn basic commands such as following on lead, sit and down, and come when called, all with positive reinforcement.
Basic Obedience ages 7-12months - $650 includes training for 4 weeks.

Advanced Obedience ages 1 year and up - -$1200 includes training for 8 weeks.
Family Protection Level I - -$1500
Family Protection Level II - -$2500
Family Protection Level III - -$3500
