About Atta Pup! Training

About

Atta Pup! Dog and Puppy Training runs group classes at 13402 Pennsylvania Avenue in Hagerstown and serves the tri-state area of Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with travel and virtual options. Lead trainer Heather Gruber-Banzhoff lists the CPDT-KA and PMCT credentials and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator.

Training

Group classes cover beginner, intermediate and advanced manners, impulse control, outdoor work and specialty topics, including a Canine Good Citizen prep course with field trips. Private training, day training, behavior consultations and coaching are available, and the trainer says most private cases involve basic manners, anxiety and fear, or aggression. A reactivity course and video consults round out the menu. Methods are humane and positive-reinforcement based.
