About Pick of the Litter Dog Training

What they offer

Pick of the Litter Dog Training serves South King County, including Kent, Auburn, Covington, Maple Valley and Federal Way. Day training is done for the owner: the trainer works with the dog three times a week, typically in the owner's yard or neighborhood, for three or four weeks, with programs for puppies, adult dogs and dogs with aggression or reactivity. Private lessons and group classes are also offered; group classes, including an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy class and pet manners, meet at a training center in Auburn. Specialties include fear, reactivity, aggression and other complex behavior concerns.
