About Train The Dog, LLC

What they offer

Train The Dog offers board-and-train and one-on-one sessions for dogs six months and older. The Services page describes a small operation with very limited board-and-train spots, so each dog gets individual attention without the stress of a large kennel; boarding dogs stay in the trainer's home as part of the family while they train. New clients start with a training application.

Approach

The home page says its programs go beyond simple obedience, using a balanced approach to help dogs understand expectations, think independently and make good choices – staying calm when guests arrive, walking politely on leash or tuning out distractions at the park.

Background

The About page says the family has fostered dogs for the past 20 years and dealt with separation anxiety, resource guarding, counter surfing, leash reactivity and fearful dogs, and that volunteering in shelter and rescue work shaped the trainer's focus on the dog's whole state of mind.
