Dog Training Services
Our learning Philosophy
We love working with individuals and families who are looking to have a solid family dog to enjoy! We've worked with a variety of ages, families, backgrounds and breeds.
Using positive reinforcement techniques, we offer small group class packages and private training right here in Boone, IA.
Our goal is to help you reach a better understanding of your dog and help you to grow your relationship together. We believe in boundaries and setting the dog up for success. We allow our dogs to make choices, providing them freedom and autonomy while we reward and mark the right things. We are here to help you build a relationship, not a dictatorship with your dog(s).

General Guidelines for Training
Short, Structured, Positive Training yields the best results
Avoid training "burnout" or "checking out" as the training will become completely ineffective.
PUPPIES (8weeks-6 months): Puppies have short attention spans and are developing their focus ability. Aim 5-10 minutes per sessions, 2-3 times a day at home.
ADOLESCENTS (6mon-2 years): As dogs mature, their ability to focus increases.
Train 10–20-minute sessions, 1-2 times a day at home.
ADULTS (2-7 years): Adult dogs can handle longer sessions, but 15-30 minutes of focused training is sufficient.
SENIOR (7+years): Senior dogs benefit from shorter sessions. 5-10 minutes to maintain learned behaviors and gentle mental stimulation.
