What Our Customers Have to Say About Us

“Dog Coach gave us the help that we desperately needed with our two dogs (one year old & 5 year old). I can not begin to describe how our life transformed in a better way in just a matter of 6 weeks. My wife & I now can peacefully and confidently take our dogs on walks on or off the leash. Hands down the best dog training.”

Dog Coach Training Tip: Expect Your Dog to Come When Called No Matter What

Recall is fundamental to building a respectful relationship with your dog. Coming when called ensures their safety, allows you to trust your dog and have more fun. Starting with a 20-foot recall leash we help owners begin to communicate with their dog at a short distance with distractions that matter. Consistent practice is essential for consistent results. Until you can reliably call your dog back 50 times without fail, he’s not ready to be trusted to come back to you. Practice makes perfect!

DOG COACH builds confidence, comfort, and control in dog handling skills so families can trust their dog and have more fun.
