About Zen Dog Training Dojo

What they offer

Zen Dog Training Dojo lists behavioral consultations, puppy socialization lessons, advanced obedience covering heel, recall and place, trick training, an aggression management program, and board and train, where the dog lives with one of its trainers. The home page also names puppy training, obedience training, behavior modification and in-home dog training.

How the training works

The first step is a free evaluation, which the site says can take place at your home or a favorite park. The home page says its founder uses praise, affection and healthy discipline, and does not use intimidation or bribery with food treats; its service descriptions also mention positive reinforcement.

Background

The home page says founder Benjamin Frederick created a shelter training program at the Greater Birmingham Humane Society in 2009, took it into family homes in 2013, and renamed it Zen Dog Training Dojo in 2022. These are the site's own statements.

Good to know

The site says that if you are not completely satisfied, it will not ask you to pay the balance, the second half of the total. It publishes an address on Dover Road in Leeds.
