Life's more fun with a dog that listens...

You have a busy life! Adding a dog to the mix is awesome, but...

You'd love a dog who is calm when you need him to be, walks without pulling, doesn't jump all over everyone, comes when called, and just listens when it really matters.

We know how you feel and we are here to help.

Our puppy and dog training programs make life with our dog fun and peaceful.

Enjoy your dog at home and wherever your days take you on adventures together.

Puppy Board & Train

As cute & adorable as puppies are, they don’t come pre-programmed with the rules!

Peeing in the right places, chewing their own toys only, not using the needle sharp teeth on humans, coming when called, being calm when needed and more.

Adult Dog Board & Train

You survived puppyhood and now you have an adolescent or an adult dog. Your schedule is busy and you’d enjoy your dog so much more, IF ONLY he listened better!

We understand, and together we will make sure the struggles are over quickly.

How can we help?

  • Puppies: From the moment you come home with a puppy, challenges arise! Play biting, potty training, socializing, getting them to listen! We’ll help you with everything you need, to enjoy your puppy from the start.
  • Adolescent/Adult Dog: Even when your dog is older, you can end selective listening, make sure your dog is calm when needed, comes when called, settles when you have guests, enjoy fun walks without being dragged down the street… and more.
  • Public Manners: You would love to take your dog with you wherever life takes you. Minding his own business on the walks to just chilling at a restaurant and coffee shop with you, we got this covered.
  • Unwanted Behaviors: If your dog is barking & lunging at other dogs on walks, or any other more significant unwanted behavior, we’ll help you with that, too. As well as teaching your worried dog to relax around visitors instead of barking & growling.
  • Etc.,

No matter what you need, D For Dog spells results.

The D for Dog difference

We only use training methods that are effective… not all dog training is the same.

We want your dog to love the process of learning his new behaviors.  And want you to feel good knowing that we only use gentle, humane, effective and proven training methods… as you can see from our success stories.

We are all about results you see in real life.

It’s all fine and good if your dog behaves in class or shows off for the trainer.  But what really matters is that he responds to you in your home, in public places — wherever your day takes both of you.

We personalize training based on the preferences.

We can simply do the training for you, or teach you to train your dog. Either way, we build a training plan for your goals and lifestyle, and we make it as easy and convenient as possible.

We’re Pros.

In an unregulated industry, you want to know your dog trainer knows her P’s & Q’s – that’s why we’ve opted for the most rigorous education available, and committed ourselves to high level ongoing professional development.
