We will continue to offer our Consultation, Dog Walking and Treadmill training (for a limited time).

Consultation - Sets the foundation of leadership for you and your dog- During this 2-3 hour Consultation, you will learn how to become the “leader of the pack”.  We will put you on the right track to modifying behavioral problems that your dog may be having.  If you have a new puppy or rescued a dog, we will help you get them started off on the right paw to a happy and balanced life for all of you!
Dog walking -Work long hours, too cold out, unable to get outside?-Your dog can’t burn off all that energy by themselves; let On the Ball K9 help you and your dog.
