Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you do therapy dog tests or training here?
At this time (April 2017), we do not offer therapy dog testing. However, we do offer AKC Canine Good Citizen testing which is a prerequisite for some therapy dog tests, and some of our group class students have gone on to pass the therapy dog test. We can help you train your dog toward this goal.

I attended a couple of seminar/workshops, at Crossbones. This place is awesome! I highly recommend them.
Our Bentley is 4-1/2 years old and spent almost the first 2 years of his training and daycare with crossbones. They were an intricate part of his development. He is the most well behaved boy! He’s a joy to walk, take to public places and social gatherings. I highly recommend them.
Awesome facility and top-notch training!

I cannot say enough about the dedication and care provided to my goofy and VERY easily distracted goldendoodle: Jude!! He was enrolled in the complete puppy training program from March until July 2023, and all I can say is Amazing Job! He is still a goofy puppy but the skills he learned really set the foundation for being a wonderfully adjusted pet at home and in the community. All the trainers took the time to listen and help set realistic goals for Jude. A program was tailored to meet his needs. He loved going to puppy school every day and was so excited to see staff. That should be the biggest testament to the program. The only negative feedback that could be offered, surrounds the somewhat limited availability of group classes. I work weekdays till 5:30-6 pm. Many classes were offered during my work hours. Weekend availability was only on Sundays. Both making attendance difficult. Thankful though, for the opportunity to attend lifelong classes, in the future, as part of the puppy program package! So grateful for all who have helped care for Jude!! Highly recommend without reservation!! Thanks Again!!
