Life is challenging enough, training your companion animal doesn’t have to be. Using proven, aversive-free, ethical, efficient, reward-based solutions, we guide you towards improving your relationship and communication with your dog. Whether it’s basic canine obedience training or more serious dog behavior challenges, we apply knowledge, experience, some humor, and a team approach to optimize outcomes.

 Training time should be rewarding for both people and their companion animals. Together, we create a more perfect union between you and your adored companion animal. Let’s get started! Contact us now to discuss your specific needs and schedule an appointment.

 
 

Private Training

Training in-person and live online, we offer curated training packages and single sessions to balance your busy life with your quality pet time.

Behavior Anywhere

Using modern technology, our expert trainers are never far away. Live online training is great for immunocompromised folks, and fearful, aggressive, reactive dogs, plus dogs with separation anxiety.

 

Classes

We offer a variety of in-person and on-demand group classes for puppies, adolescent, and adult dogs. Classes are held online and in-person at Your Dog’s Friend.

Teacher’s pet

 Wish your dog could be socialized and trained while you work, vacation, or catch up on life? We train your dog and teach you to maintain the learned behaviors.

Other Pets

In addition to training dogs, we have experience working with a variety of pets! Be it a cat, a bunny, or even a pig, we can help you with training and behavior challenges.
