About Red Dog Run Training and Behavior

Behavior and manners training from Clifton

Red Dog Run Training and Behavior is based out of Clifton and serves all of Northern Virginia, from Fairfax County to Arlington, Loudoun and Prince William counties. It specializes in behavioral issues and also offers obedience training and group classes.

Private training

One-on-one sessions take place in person at your home or another location, covering everyday manners, puppy foundations and behavior problems. The site also lists online training.

Group classes

Small group classes, limited to four dogs, meet on Sundays in North Springfield as four-week courses. Options include Puppy Foundations with managed play, Adult Manners for jumping, leash pulling and door bolting, and enrichment classes in fun agility, tricks and scent games. Every course includes one makeup class. A reactive dog class is offered as well.

The trainer

The owner and head trainer lists the CPDT-KA credential and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. The site says she has trained dogs in the DC area for over a decade and has a particular interest in aggression and reactivity.

What to ask

Ask whether private sessions or a small class suits your dog, and when the next reactive or puppy class starts.
