Customer Reviews
Bill H. - Highly recommend Camille. Look no further. She is a consummate trainer with excellent communication skills. Very patient and understanding of your dog's needs as well as your own. She was one of only 2 trainers in the area recommended by the vet animal behaviorist whom we took our dog to. She is a professional who is passionate about her work.
Pat M. - Camille gave me insights into the behaviors my dog was exhibiting and helped with training. She has a positive, reassuring presence that calmed my dog. She also shared many good product ideas for challenging my dog or just making her more comfortable. Thank you, Camille.
N.N. - Camille is great! Our golden doodle has had resource guarding, jumping, etc. issues. Both are pretty much non-existent. We're working on barking and she gives great customized feedback with results. She's definitely worth the investment for our fur baby. 🙂
Macey B. - We were beyond thrilled with Camille's training! The training used positive reinforcement to work on our dog's behavior towards strangers! Camille was able to customize our lessons to hit our goals! Camille is willing to help beyond the lessons and answer any questions! I would highly recommend enrolling your pets!
Kelsey P. - Camille helped us so much with our little puppy, Sofia! She is great about working with you to understand root causes of behavior and the correct training to overcome it. She carefully walks through each training method and shows you how to do it. It's one thing to use google to get training tips for specific problems, but Camille was able to identify certain behavior and provide training tips on things we never would have thought to google. Overall, we highly recommend Camille for her great expertise and patience walking through everything with us. We also found her prices to be very reasonable.
Lindsay B. - Highly recommend: Camille helped our family so much through her training sessions. She had a perfect demeanor to work with our challenging rescue dog. She approached slowly and with care. At the end of the sessions, our dog mastered most of the curriculum and overcame a lot of his fear response behaviors. Hiring Sit, Stay, Play Dog Training was the BEST thing we could have done for our household.
Diana N. - “Camille makes the effort to give you the time to understand what needs to be taught and how to do it.“
Amanda G. - “A dedicated trainer with a strong work ethic. Camille has a great energy and will make training fun!”
Larry B. - “Camille has done a great job teaching us how to understand our pups. She is very patient and understanding with the dogs. Both my girls just love her. If your dog needs help training you give her a try. You won’t be disappointed!”
Noelle D. - “Camille has been helping us train our puppy from the first day we brought our rescue home. We have been able to provide him with positive reinforcement training and LOVE! So much love works so fast, it boggles my mind. I have had many dogs and none have had such incredible training before even 6 months old. I am so thrilled to have such a smart dog who loves learning!”
Kasey W. - “Many, many thanks! Charley tore out full speed and his leash snapped (broke)! I did the recall command (as instructed) and he came!!! Thank you Camille!”
Cyndy P. - I have already recommended her to a friend and will not hesitate to do so again in the future.”
Maggie N. - Camille is the best! We recently finished our last sessions with Camille and reflected on the great progress our 2-year golden retriever has made. Our pup had issues with leash pulling, building confidence, and barrier aggression. Not only did Camille teach us how to handle these issues, but we have a much better bond with our dog. We are so grateful for Camille. She is great at communicating, was flexible if we needed to reschedule a training session, and she genuinely loves what she does. She completely went above and beyond our expectations. We know where we will being taking our future furry family members!
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
