Puppy Training

Puppy training in Central Maryland that starts the way you mean to go on. Owners learn positive reinforcement, socialization and clear communication so the habits that stick are the good ones — from house manners to loose-leash walking. We train puppies from Frederick, Westminster, Ellicott City, Mt Airy and Montgomery County at our Union Bridge home base, or in your own home.

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.
