*Evaluations set goals and determine which training programs

are an appropriate starting point for you and your dog.

We teach more than just obedience.

We teach you and your dog in a way that improves communication and develops a strong bond with your dog. MuttSchool follows the LIMA approach for dog training and does not use training equipment that imparts pain, fear or intimidation on your dog. Our training methods are designed to give you a confident, well-mannered dog while preventing behavioral challenges before they start.

Group Classes

MuttSchool's group class instructors teach you along with your dog. You and your dog will establish a system of lifelong communication by building behaviors and strengthening skills. We teach so that it's a fun, positive experience for both of you. We are dedicated to provide you with the tools you need to have a confident, well-mannered and happy canine.

Please note: Group classes are not appropriate for dogs with behavioral problems, dogs that are disruptive in a kennel or reactive dogs (dogs that growl, bark or lunge on leash). We do have other training options for dogs with these behavioral challenges.

Puppy Classes

8 weeks-6 months

Puppyhood is the most crucial developmental stage in a dog's life. MuttSchool offers age-based classes for puppies starting at 8 weeks of age. Start your puppy off on the right paw for the ultimate training and socialization experience.

Private Lessons

Private lessons offer a personalized way to train your dog or puppy. Enjoy the flexibility of working one-on-one with a CCPDT-certified MuttSchool instructor based on your schedule and availability. These lessons can be held at your home, our training center or another agreed upon location.

Evaluation

In the 90-minute evaluation, a MuttSchool instructor will meet with you and your dog to determine your dog's level of training and observe your dog's behavior first hand. Together we will devise a training plan that meets your dog's training needs. To get you started off on the right paw, we will also review our orientation packet.

Behavior Modification

Having a dog with behavioral problems IS challenging. It is easy to get discouraged with your dog's misbehavior. The good news is that depending on how self-rewarding the unwanted behavior has been to your dog, most of the time it can be solved through patience, consistency and training.
