Fun, Effective and Positive Training for you and Your New Dog

COVID-19 Update: We are happy to announce that training packages are now going to consist of a combination of At-Home and Virtual Sessions

While we would love to come to your home for all sessions, setting a good training foundation is necessary for success. We will utilize virtual training sessions for education and teaching new skills and then we will enhance those skills outside together at your home.

Training with TheTreat

Not Your Average Training Class

In Home Training

Training sessions are held in your own home. The dog is most comfortable and in the simplest environment to learn new commands. It also allows all household members to participate if desired.

Personalized

Every dog, owner and environment is different; and we tailor training sessions accordingly. The commands we introduce, the pace at which we go through them, and the topics discussed are driven by you and your dog.

Positive

We follow the principles of positive reinforcement in order to train and shape behavior. We teach you to create and look for opportunities to reward good behavior and deter unwanted behavior. Get those treats ready!

Consultative

Owning a dog can be as challenging as it is rewarding. We help address all types of dog ownership questions such as house training, living with children, brushing teeth, socializing, and more!

Short Sessions

Each training session is about thirty minutes long. Dogs (and people!) can give you their attention for a short period of time. We use that time efficiently to introduce concepts that you feel comfortable using every day.

Affordable

We want as many dogs as possible to have access to training. It's a key part of building a bond and creating a safe environment. We keep prices low so you can receive quality training and have some left over for spoiling your dog!

TheTreat Trainer

Hi! I approach training with three main objectives: keep it fun, keep it positive, and keep it going!

Keep it fun: I view training as something you want to do in order to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Dogs view training as 'play time', a way to impress you, and a nice break in their day; I would like to set you up to think that way too.

Keep it positive: Backed by experience and research, I believe the most effective way to train and shape behavior is by rewarding good behavior. I remind owners to find opportunities to set the dog up to be comfortable and perform the behavior that you want.

Keep it going: Training a dog is a lifelong commitment. My goal is for owners to view training as fun and positive so they feel like there is always time to work on new skills and refine the basics.

My goal is to provide dog owners with the tools they need to feel positive, knowledgable and confident about dog ownership.
