A well trained pup means a happy owner
Dog Training in Boston
Positive-reinforcement training for real Boston life, from first commands to the habits you want gone.
Overview
Training is one of the most important things you can give your dog, above all for their safety and the safety of others. A dog that will stop before running somewhere it should not, leave something unhealthy, or hold back from jumping on someone avoids dangerous situations, and well-mannered dogs get to join their people on far more adventures. Training also builds connection and mental stimulation, and it is fun.
Every member of our team is skilled in current positive-reinforcement methods. We build rapport with your dog first, learn their temperament and learning style, use the same verbal and visual commands your family uses, and report back on every session through the online portal. Training is available in every neighborhood we serve and can be built into walks, playgroups or boarding.
