About Family Dog Training Center

What they offer

Family Dog Training Center teaches group classes and private lessons in a 5,000-square-foot facility in Kent. Puppy Manners combines socialization, play and early obedience for young pups and also covers housebreaking, chewing and nail trimming. Older pups and adult dogs move through Beginning, Advanced and Continued Advanced Home Obedience, and Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog Preparation classes follow. A performance program offers agility, rally obedience, nosework, trick dog training and competition obedience practice. Private lessons are available for families who prefer individual instruction or for behavior challenges a class does not fit. Classes are small, and family members are encouraged to attend.

How they train

The center describes methods based on how dogs learn and communicate, and says it does not use clicker training.
