About Dynamite Dog Training

Force-free training in Oakland Park

Dynamite Dog Training is a force-free training company with a Fort Lauderdale facility serving the Oakland Park area, alongside locations in Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach and Royal Palm Beach. It was founded in 2006 by owner Jamie Diaz, CPDT-KA, VSPDT, CNWI, TDCT, who is licensed under Victoria Stilwell and is also a certified K9 Nose Work instructor, CGC evaluator and Trick Dog Certified Trainer.

Method

The company uses only force-free methods: no chokers, no prong collars and no shock collars. Trainers rely on positive reinforcement, including with dogs that have behavioral issues or aggression.

Programs

Classes include day training while owners are at work, private lessons at the facility with day, evening and weekend times, group classes matched to a dog's personality and skill level, board and train, virtual dog training, and service and therapy dog training. Its air-conditioned facilities host classes every day, and the team works from problem puppy behaviors through service dog training.

What owners say

One client wrote that her 18-month-old lab with environmental anxiety "does so much better after going to dynamite dog training."
