Dog Training
From basic obedience to behavior transformation, Dogtown’s expert trainers deliver personalized programs for lasting results and a happier dog.
Tailored Dog Training for Lasting Results
Whether you’re looking to enhance basic obedience or transform your dog’s behavior, Dogtown offers a distinguished training experience tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Our expert trainers use a refined approach to foster lasting results, ensuring your dog not only meets but exceeds your expectations, all while receiving the highest level of care and guidance.
Dogtown Obedience Training Approach
Behavioral Assessment
At the start of the program, we conduct a thorough behavioral assessment to identify any specific challenges or areas of focus. This helps us create a targeted training plan for optimal results.
Comprehensive Training
Our expert trainers use balanced training techniques to teach your dog essential commands, manners, and social skills. From basic obedience to advanced training, we tailor our approach to meet your dog’s specific needs.
Personalized Attention
We maintain a low trainer-to-dog ratio to ensure each dog receives the individual attention they deserve. Our trainers get to know your dog’s personality, strengths, and areas for improvement, creating a customized training plan.
Our Day and Train program is designed to maximize efficiency for owner and dog. It minimizes the time spent traveling, while maximizing the training time. Our experienced trainers use positive reinforcement to teach essential commands and improve behavior at planned intervals while giving the dog sufficient downtime in between sessions allowing it to get the most out of the time.
