About Dogs Got Class® Dog Training

Positive training around Providence

Dogs Got Class® Dog Training offers positive reinforcement dog training in Providence and surrounding Massachusetts areas, run by Helena Montgomery, BA, CCDT. Helena trained at CATCH Canine Trainers Academy after her adopted Bully breed mix, Spud, showed her she needed more education, and she draws on shelter volunteer experience. She describes her approach as harm free and force-free, built on knowing how dogs learn and reading their body language.

Programs

Programs include in-home private dog training, puppy potty breaks with walk-and-train and socialization, day training while owners are at work or at daycare, and Star Programs in basic and advanced obedience for adolescent and adult dogs. Help covers nuisance behaviors such as jumping on guests, leash pulling, rushing through doors and coming when called, and mild behavior issues before they become major problems. Helena also helps families choose a dog before adoption, and refers aggression and separation anxiety cases to force-free Certified Professional Dog Trainers who specialize in them.
