Customer Reviews
Lina and Greg from Littleton, MA: "It has been our pleasure having our dog work with Jill! Our in home training sessions made immediate and positive differences on both our dog and more importantly on us as owners. The daycare is incredible with a great outdoor space, filtered water, and a controlled enviroment. We feel our dog is safe and is having a great time while maintaining his good doggie manners. We don't know what we'd do without TSC!"
Benny Maltbie: "My name is Benny. I'm a one year old, 4 lb Teacup Yorkie exploring all the fun of being a puppy, but I really needed socialization with other dogs and people. So, Mom enrolled me at The Social Canine Doggy Day Care. I LOVE it there ! I've met new friends, play all day, have learned how to share...AND I get ongoing training at the same time! I can't wait to go there ! My mom says I'm a different puppy now!! I listen better, am more obedient and I don't bark as much as I used to because I come home from 'school' quiet and tired ! Come check it out !!! The more doggy playmates the better! I'd love to meet more friends. Oh, and Jill is a wonderful, and patient trainer. "
Ann Rosas from Carlisle, MA: "Jill came to our home to help us with food and aggression issues. She showed us and our 3 dogs how to handle feeding time without fights breaking out. Jill had lots of advice and tools to help create peace in our home. Her advice made immediate sense and none of her techniques required specialized or expensive equipment. We are a much happier household for having met Jill! Jazz, Ruby, and Greer send their love!"
Jessica Piziak: "My dog, Emma, has been attending daycare at the Social Canine for four years. She LOVES it! She is an energetic Cairn Terrier, but when she gets home from daycare she is tired and happy.
Jill and Jim truly love animals, which shows in their excellent care for the dogs at daycare. They are always thinking of new and fun options for exercise and playtime. The dogs are never put in crates, unlike most doggie daycares. The facilities are safe and immaculate. The Social Canine is the best doggie day care that you'll find.
Thank you for all that you do for Emma! "

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.

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.

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.
