Family Dog Obedience & Training

At Family Dog, we’re all about building trust and sparking great communication, laying down the bedrock for obedience training that actually sticks. Our mission? To help owners grow strong, loving bonds with their dogs based on mutual respect, plenty of tail wags, and a little advocacy magic. Every pup in our program is encouraged to choose partnership with us, not because they have to, but because they genuinely want to. Because let’s be honest: a happy dog is a learning dog, and together, we’re set for success!

At Family Dog, we recognize that every dog is unique, and every family has its own story. Our training approach is never generic; instead, we carefully assess your dog’s personality and listen to your aspirations so we can create a personalized plan designed for lasting success. We believe that true progress comes from building a two-way communication channel between you and your dog, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
We believe in not only training your dog but educating you as the owner on the following: 

• Your dog's breed and what it means to own that breed. 

• How to take PROACTIVE steps to help prevent unwanted behaviors.

• How to EFFECTIVELY communicate with your dog.

• How to EFFECTIVELY understand your dog's communication.

• How to ADVOCATE for your dog. 

• How to meet your dog in the middle. 

• How to build a STRONG and POSITIVE relationship with your dog. 

We believe the trainer-owner connection doesn’t end when training does. When you join us, you and your dog become part of our pack—a supportive community where friendships grow, knowledge is shared, and everyone helps one another succeed. We periodically host small private group sessions so you and your pup can continue progress, connect with others, and even support fellow dogs facing challenges you’ve already overcome. Welcome to the pack!
