Owner Coaching

Private dog training that puts the training in your hands. In one-on-one lessons a trainer works with you and your dog on what matters in your life — leash manners, recall, door and guest manners, staying calm around distractions — and sends you home with a plan. Train at our Union Bridge or Mt Airy location, or have us come to you: in-home dog training across Frederick, Westminster, Ellicott City, Mt Airy and Montgomery County.

Austin helped us work through Tank’s reactivity and resource guarding. I walk my 90-lb pittie by myself now — and Tank loves him.

got questions?

The good stuff

Will training change my dog’s personality?
Not at all. Training won’t change who your dog is — it changes the control and confidence you have in day-to-day life together.
What’s your approach to training?
A balance of positive and negative reinforcement. It’s important for your dog to understand what they can and can’t do — but you never need to physically punish a dog to get there.
Which service is right for me?
Call or email to set up a free consultation. Austin will come out for a meet-and-greet and help you choose the program that fits your dog and your goals.
How early can I start puppy training?
The week your puppy comes home is the best time — socialization and house manners start on day one. Book a free consult and we’ll match a plan to your puppy’s age, from coaching lessons through day training and board & train.
How much time do I need to train my dog?
Don’t focus on the hours. A few short, successful sessions beat long drawn-out ones. We’ll figure out the right rhythm for your pet together.
