About The Polite Dog

Services

The menu is "Private Lessons", "Polite Dog School – Ten days of school for your dog plus 5 lessons for you!", "Polite Dog Preschool" and an "In-Person Consultation". Published goals include "Polite Manners – Calm behavior at home, on walks, and around people or other dogs", "Biting, nipping, and chewing", "Reliable potty habits & crate training" and "Socialization".

Approach

The published promise is that the owner does the training personally: "Work directly with the owner, a CPDT-KA professional, using science-based methods for real results", with "15+ Years of Expertise". Sessions are run where the problems happen: the site's "Real-World Training" promise is "We train where it matters most", naming "your home, neighborhood, and local parks". The business also offers "free dog pick-up and flexible scheduling". Programs are explicitly not standardized: "We don't believe in one-size-fits-all training."
