What Our Clients Say

Green Leaf has been a saving grace for my puppy and me. Our trainer is basically a magician for being able to tame my giant ball of energy. I’ll definitely be recommending Greenleaf to anyone who owns a dog, and we’ll be coming here for a while, even after the puppy energy subsides.

Bridget McLearen

Bruce Brickman

What Our Clients Say

My dog Amber was trained at Greenleaf, who did an excellent job in teaching her skills that helps her to be the best puppy she is. We are first time pet owners and had so answer many questions. Our trainer walked us through lots of resources and guidance—this place is fantastic.

Arun Karpur

What Our Clients Say

I took my 8 months old puppy here for obedience training and service dog training. Now when I go out in public, it is evident how well behaved he is. Thank you! I can’t wait to bring him back for loose leash training.

What Our Clients Say

I had my Pomeranian trained by Scott and the results were amazing. He transformed from a stubborn little guy to an obedient little buddy. I highly recommend Greenleaf Pet Resort and Training with Scott!

Doggy Day School

Teaching Dogs Better Every Day

Our Day School is a daily training program designed to instill your dog with the maximum amount of learning while allowing them to spend evenings and weekends in the comfort of your home. Problematic and dangerous behaviors like excessive barking, pulling, jumping, mouthing, biting, chewing, and fearful or aggressive behavior are easily addressed by our patient and professional trainers.

We’ll begin with a consultation to discuss your training goals and your dog’s needs, and work with you to create a custom training program for them.

  • State-of-the-art training rooms

  • Supervised indoor and outdoor plays areas for breaks

Boarding School

Stay and Train With Us

Like all of our training programs, our Boarding School curriculum is individually tailored to each dog. When they’re not in active training sessions, your dog will enjoy round-the-clock personalized care, supervised play sessions with other students, and a private suite to eat and unwind in.

This extended stay of 3-4 weeks allows our staff the time necessary to address even the most complex of behavioral issues, ensuring the process is both enjoyable and productive for your dog.

  • Highly personalized, 24/7 care for 3-4 weeks

  • Work-rest training cycles to keep training fun and productive

  • Unlimited private lessons with the whole family after your dog graduates

Puppy Classes

Start Their Life on the Right Foot

Our puppy classes, designed for owner participation, pair you with one of our expert trainers to ensure your puppy starts life on the right paw. Just like human children, puppies are like sponges, constantly absorbing and learning from new experiences. We’ll collaborate with you to develop a customized training program that aligns with your goals and preemptively addresses housebreaking and potential behavioral issues.

Greenleaf’s training programs are rooted in positive reinforcement, making the sessions feel like playtime for your puppy—ensuring a joyful and effective learning experience for both of you.

  • Ideally begins as soon as possible in your puppy’s life.

  • Individualized training plans to meet each puppy’s unique needs.

  • Address common puppy challenges such as chewing, toilet-training, and leash manners, while preventing future behavioral problems.
