I was referred to All About Dogs from another training program. The training has been excellent. In addition to improving my dog's behavior, I've also learned techniques to respond and calm my dog down when he gets too worked up. And the trainers take the time to address individual questions and issues that each dog and dog owner is trying to address. Great training!

I could not be happier about the quality of All About Dogs Levels Program. The trainers are knowledgeable, empathetic, and encouraging. They understand how stressful having a puppy or problem dog can be and are prepared with suggestions for just about any scenario you throw at them. After a year and a half of working with them I can say my dog is an exceptionally good boy. Training has taught me how to interact with him as much as it has taught him how to behave like a gentleman.

I have been taking my dogs here for a decade now and they're just amazing. Fun trainers with the absolute best concept for class. The class grows with your dog, so if they learn faster, you get moved up to New things, but if it takes them a little longer, you can work with them on what they're having a tough time with. The staff are top notch and I'll continue to bring all my dogs to them for good and fun obedience classes.

I have a lovely reactive Sheltie named Sailor. Fortunately we found All About Dogs. Sailor and I have participated in private and group lessons. I have learned so much and am putting it into practice with my dog. The trainers are knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend them to anyone who has a dog that reacts to noise people and other dogs. We will continue our lessons long term. They are invaluable.

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.
