About DogmaticsLLC

Positive coaching in Tampa

Dogmatics LLC is a Tampa dog training business built on positive reinforcement and force-free methods, using praise, affection, treats and real-life rewards. Its trainer, Ann, is a certified professional dog trainer, and the business frames training as a two-way conversation in which she helps owners translate. Dogmatics describes its training as free of shocking, pinching, yanking and force, aiming for a bond based on trust rather than fear or submission.

One and Done coaching

The signature offer, One and Done, is designed for the DIY dog parent: one in-depth, two-hour in-person session for assessment, training and coaching, followed by six weeks of support by text, call, video exchange or Zoom. It starts with a free consult call.

Other options

On-demand mini-courses of 10 to 15 minutes cover leash walking, better greetings, puppy biting, elevator manners and puppy potty help. Private, customized in-home lessons with lifetime support are also offered. The service area includes South Tampa, Downtown Tampa, Riverview, Bradenton and Sarasota.
