dog training in huntsville since 2010
Our Philosophy
Most people just want to be able to walk their dog without being pulled down the street, or have their dog greet people nicely without jumping, or just have their dog listen to them. Our dog training philosophy is based on the fact that dogs will respond to positive, rewarding situations and clear communication. We specialize in helping you learn to read your dog's body language so you can better communicate with them, and with small class sizes (5 dogs max/class) you'll get all the attention you need.
Whether you're starting classes with a puppy, need help with your 'wild child', have behavioral issues with your dog, or just want to have some fun and keep your dog's skills sharp, there is a class for you. From Kindergarten to College we've got classes to help foster that bond between you and your dog.
We train indoors and outdoors, on field trips and special events. We offer in-home training, private sessions, group classes (maximum 5 dogs per class), one topic single session classes, and seminars and we have 4 professionally certified trainers. Check out all the services we offer and our rates and we'll see you in class!
Why Choose Professionally Certified Trainers
In a phrase: peace of mind.
When you look for a trainer with professional certifications, you know you’ll be working with a dog training professional whose knowledge and skills are grounded in the science of animal behavior—and who has a demonstrated commitment to excellence and ethical conduct. We are required to keep up our education and earn CEUs to maintain our certification.
CPDT-KA trainers have proven skills and knowledge of humane, science-based dog training as well as
- The drive and determination to successfully complete a rigorous exam process
- A commitment to a strict ethical code for personal and business conduct
- A commitment to continuing education and professional development
- A commitment to enhancing the dog training profession
