Dog Training

Are you having a hard time with your dog? Not feeling confident to take your dog out in public? Is it a struggle to stop them from chewing the furniture? Do you constantly deal with pulling or lunging when on walks? Biting the kids or are they fixated towards little animals? It can be hard to connect with your pup when they are acting up.

At Dogtown Pet Spa, we work with you and your dog to help communicate what is needed of them. If obedience is your top priority, we can help.

  • If walking nicely on a lead in public is what you want, we can help.
  • If off – leash is your overall goal, we can help with that.

We’ll help you understand your pet’s behavior so you can go back to enjoying the pup you always loved. Our dog training program combines private lessons with group classes to help train your dog in real-world situations. We offer consultations where you will meet your dog’s trainer and discuss your training goals. You will also get the opportunity to meet a demo dog that has completed the training to see the level of obedience you can reach. Let our professionals help you to achieve maximum control of your pet while still letting your dog be a dog.

What They’re Saying

Downtown’s "In House" Training was like a miracle for my 2 - 11 month old labs. The two trainers, Makenzie and Maren were so wonderful! During Chawk and Rio's training for 2 weeks they learned so many "GOOD DOG" manners that our home is normal again. When I dropped the 2 puppies off I didn't think I was going to be a basket case, I thought it would be just fine, but by that night I was clearly more attached than I thought. So the next day I called Makenzie and told her I was going to forfeit my money and I was coming to get my puppies and just forget the whole training thing...but after her talking to me for 20 minutes and her reassuring me that this was going to be a "GREAT" experience for both me and the puppies I agreed to leave them there and she would send me text messages throughout each day for the next 2 weeks to let me know they were okay, so we went forward with the training and I am so thankful that I did. Because of Makenzie and Maren, I have 2 trained lab puppies that are brothers, who used to be non separable, wouldn't sleep in separate kennels, who had to do everything together but will now do things without the other, and will even do commands the first time. (with a little help of a treat...lol) I would recommend DogTown Pet Spa Training (Sandy location) to anyone who is like me and wouldn't trust their fur babies to just anyone. Thank you, again for everything. Shauna, Chawk and Rio
