our Philosophy

Your Dog’s Health and Safety are Our Priority

It’s time for a good dog trainer in Baltimore. For most of us, when we get a dog, we have an image in our mind of how great life is going be: playing fetch, strolling down the street enjoying a lovely day, nighttime cuddles on the sofa watching your favorite show, a happy face when you get home no matter how dark your day was….it’s gonna be great!

And then reality happens….your dog’s favorite game is running away and having you chase them, you have arms of steel from water skiing behind your dog who is dragging you to another dog, a person, a tree, a squirrel, etc. Your favorite show gets interrupted because your dog needs your attention NOW, or strangers are walking past the house, and the world needs to know this! You brace yourself before you walk through the door to endure the love mauling you’re about to get, not to mention what happens when guests come to the house.

I have plenty more examples, but I hope you understand that you are not alone.

Lia is an Australian Shepard that is going through muzzle and e-collar training in Dec 2022.

Most owners I’ve spoken to are at their wits end not understanding how to communicate their needs to their dogs. They give them the best food, plenty of exercise, enough toys for 100 dogs, lots of love, all the things a dog could ever need, and still, their dogs continue with frustrating, sometimes dangerous shenanigans. It makes for a very unbalanced relationship.

Thus, my motto is ‘Better Relationships from Better Communication.’ The more black and white you make things, the easier it is for your dog to understand and follow through. It really is that simple (most of the time).

What You Need To Know About Our Dog Training Services

Our dog training center strives to provide the best services possible to help your furry friend become a better companion. We know training is an integral part of life with any pet and want you to feel confident that your pup’s education is in good hands. To help alleviate any doubts or worries, here are some commonly asked questions about our dog training services.

Ideally, the younger, the better, however, that isn’t always possible, so really, any age is ok. It’s never too late to train your dog. I’ve trained dogs as old as 13!

It’s up to you! The difference is that I take your dog and train them for a set amount of time in a board-and-train situation. When they return to you, I give you a go-home lesson and follow-up lessons. In private lessons, I train you to train your dog in your home, neighborhood, and surrounding areas. I’ll prime your dog first with the exercises so that they are relatively smooth for you, and we will proceed from there.

Puppies are soooo cute, and you can guide their journey from the start. Those big eyes, puppy breath, watching them experience things for the first time. Your heart melts with every breath. However, they are A LOT of work. Sleepless nights, having eyes in the back of your head, potty training, lots of monitoring. Totally worth it, but know ahead of time that you’re going to be putting in a lot of work on the front end of this lifelong journey with your dog. Older dogs are great! They usually come pre-packaged with larger bladders to sleep through the night, you have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting personality-wise, and there are plenty of dogs in shelters that were put there because they lost their puppy cuteness. It’s really up to you. Contact me if you’re looking for a dog. I work with several local rescues, and I’m sure we can find you the right match.

Maybe! Honestly, there are several factors why the training didn’t take. I’ll ask you a bunch of questions to get an idea of why it didn’t work. It could be as simple as some handlers or dogs don’t learn or are overwhelmed in group class situations, and private in-home training would be easier for them, or the dog does great at the facility but has trouble transitioning to distractions at home. It’s a fairly common problem.

We specialize in obedience, agility, and behavior modification. Our classes are designed to help nurture a strong bond between you and your pup while teaching them essential skills. We’ve got you covered from basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leave it to more advanced tricks, such as fetching items and learning to walk on a leash.
