Dog Training in Hamburg, NY
Training is an essential part of owning a dog and can be started at any age. Training builds confidence, provides mental stimulation, teaches your dog how to behave and it strengthens your human-animal bond. Training will help your dog socialize with others, both human and canine, in a controlled environment and it will help you both walk into any situation and feel safe!
Enrolling your dog in a training program will allow you to be a more confident pet owner. It will open up opportunities for you to do more activities with your pup and actually have a good time! We are passionate about helping our clients communicate more effectively with their dogs. Our goal with all of our programs are to create long term success.
Words from one of our certified trainers, Stephanie:“My mission in training is to help owners and dogs be able to live and communicate in two worlds that collide, creating that strong bond that we thrive for. I want to inspire owners to understand the needs of the dog and help them understand what it is they are looking for through positive reinforcement. My passion (which comes from my own experience), is for rescue dogs that have been through unimaginable trauma and is expressed in ways we do not understand. My end goal is to ensure that all dogs get a fair opportunity to succeed and for them to live a long, happy life while their physical, mental and social needs are being met through our various programs.”
