What Dog Coach Customers Have to Say About Us
“Like everyone else we got a pandemic puppy. A beautiful Irish Setter who is way too smart and had me regretting the decision to get a dog. The first day Dog Coach showed up, she wasn’t even home–she had escaped, jumping a five-foot fence. Six short lessons later we have the best family dog. She no longer climbs on the kitchen table, doesn’t go after the kids’ food, and you can walk her without having your arm dislocated. She now sleeps in her crate all night and takes naps there during the day. Dog Coach is so good at helping you feel in control and educating you along the way about why your dog acts in certain ways. We are excited to continue training with Dog Coach!”

Dog Training Tip: Balance Calm and Play for Better Behavior
Just as we manage good healthy dog play our dogs benefit from consistent practice being calm. Keeping a balanced relationship with your dog will promote better behavior and better choices. But the catch is that 30 minutes of play doesn’t necessarily equate to 30 minutes of calm. Expectations for a secure balanced family dog takes consistent practice teaching a calm state of mind. Manage your dog’s energy level by not allowing them to follow you throughout the house. Full crate training is always a complement to healthy play and is ideal for a balanced dog.
