Customer Reviews
Alyssa N - Great classes in really good sizes.
OLDMANSTILLCAN PNW - Katie is great. She helped us in 2015 with our two min pins and some anxiety issues that made it hard to walk the dogs together; one session with her helped us help them. Now we have a female German Shepherd, great dog lots of energy and we turned to Katie and her staff to help us once again!
John Lampus - I love this place and wish we could go more often! Our pup gets so excited and always learns valuable behavior skills. I also find she listens better when we're regularly attending a class. Highly recommend high expectations!
Talara Tate - I've owned many dogs over the past few years and have worked closely with them my whole life. I don't really have enough good things to say about High Expectations and Hailey in particular. We recently adopted our fourth dog, a border collie mix, who has more energy and tenacity than any other herding dog I've owned. Through their puppy day school and training classes he has become such an amazing and attentive dog. I love how all the trainers seem to know him and working with them and Brooke has been such a breeze. Whenever I have specific questions, they always have helpful answers and truly care about your pup and the work they do. So happy we found them!
adam berg - I have only been through one class so far and Hailey has impressed me 100 times over and the training is over the top professional and it exceeds my expectations. I will recommend them to everyone. Thank you so much Hailey for your training. You are a definitely a rock star, and I appreciate all your additional advice.
Erin Contour - This is a wonderful family with talented and caring trainers. Every time we've had questions, they've offered practical advice. Classes are structured to progress naturally for your pup and you (which is important, you're both getting trained!) plus they're just fun.
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.
