Hello April, you may want to send this to the dog training class participants, showing how one dog (already trained) will heel to the other dog, who is heeling, automatically. In my expoerience with 2 dogs, the dominant dog stays close to me, and the non-dominant dog heels to them. Todd
An Idaho Family Business
We treat every pet as if they were our very own family pet
Our business was started in 1993 by Will and Vivian Stoppel in Payette Idaho on Scotch Pine Rd.
In 2006 they sold the company to their daughter April Stoppel Jantz and it is her full-time career and the largest dog training school in Idaho, and one of the largest in the nation.
We enjoy tremendous support from veterinarians, law enforcement officials, and humane societies of the Treasure Valley.
Because our classes number 200 dogs per week we've been privileged to work over the years with thousands of dogs of all breeds-- huge dogs, aggressive dogs, sensitive dogs, rambunctious dogs, timid dogs, petrified dogs, abused dogs, young dogs and old dogs.
We love them all and we welcome the chance to work with you and your special dog soon!
