Dog Training Services

We love our dogs, but sometimes they can make our lives stressful.

No matter what you and your dog are struggling with, there is hope.

Every dog has a set of skills. These skills help them navigate not only their day-to-day life, but also unexpected situations that they might find themselves in. Sometimes, our dog doesn’t quite have the skill set they need to match the lifestyle that you share. This can lead to our dogs exhibiting frustrating behaviors like counter surfing, jumping on guests, and barking at the mail carrier.

The good news is that every skill can be strengthened, and you CAN have a happy, well-behaved dog.

It happens through a three-part system:

1. Find what motivates your dog and create a variety of positive reinforcers.

2. Strengthen their skills through fun exercises and games.

3. Take those improved skills into the real-world and watch them thrive.

“Walks are so stressful. He runs ahead of me, tries to chase squirrels, and I just can’t get him to focus.”

“No matter what I do or how much I play with her, I can’t get her to relax while I’m working. I thought it would get better when she grew out of puppyhood, but it hasn’t.”

“My dog is scared of everything. I feel like I can’t bring him anywhere with me.”
