About Maine Dog Training Company

What they offer

Maine Dog Training Company is based in Bath and was founded by Teri Robinson, who studied psychology and animal behavior and has more than two decades of experience helping dog owners, including running a shelter dog training program. The team trains dogs and teaches owners to build a relationship based on fairness, clarity and consistency.

Programs

Private training is booked by the hour in the client's home, at a public space or at the company's studio in Brunswick, and private services cover Brunswick, Freeport, Yarmouth, Falmouth, Portland and Cape Elizabeth from March to November. Group classes run at the Brunswick facility, puppy day school gives young dogs daily structure and education, and board and train programs build a tailored plan during the dog's stay. In-home behavioral training for aggression, anxiety and reactivity is offered through a partner trainer.

Approach

The goal is a dog that comes every time it is called, walks nicely on a leash and stays calm with visitors. The site's blog discusses e-collar training and leadership based on clear expectations.
