In addition to our puppies, we also offer personalized, private, positive reward based training both for our dogs as well as the general public through Elizabeth’s business “4 The Dogs” Training.

Training is a fundamental part of any dog’s life and can help build the relationship between a dog and their human(s).

We offer individualized training programs for dogs of all shapes, sizes and experience levels. Whether you are looking for basic manners (sit, down, loose leash walking or coming when called) or if you are interested in obedience competition we can tailor a plan for you. We are the primary private barn hunt instructor in Hampton Roads who also hosts trials – Barn Hunt lessons are located in Smithfield,VA . We also offer private lessons in scent work and agility handling/equipment training.

4 The Dogs also provides herding instruction with Terri Chisman at The IOC.
