Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.
Does modern dog training have board and train program?
Hi Mike- We do not provide nor recommend board and train services. The board and train setup is extremely ineffective overall; the dog will of course respond to the trainer but it is highly unlikely any success will carry over to everyday life at home or for the guardian.
The most effective training option is always private in-home lessons. In this setup, we work together to teach the guardian how to effectively manage and communicate with their dog.
We caution against any type of board and train for safety reasons. There are many facilities and trainers that can endanger and/or otherwise cause harm to your dog both physically and mentally when you are not present.

My dog, Stone, and I have had a positive experience with Modern Dog. Trainers Amanda and Kelsey have been responsive to his unique needs throughout our individual lessons working on dog- and people-based reactivity. They ask questions and truly consider his profile when working on strategies and techniques. I appreciated the thorough initial assessment and the session notes and homework in between lessons! I would highly recommend Modern Dog!

I had an excellent experience with Kristen, the owner. Having had dogs all my adult life I learned new ways to interact with my dogs. Luv it!

We can’t say enough good things about Amanda at modern dog! She helped our now 1 year old pit mix Leo through his teenage phase, which has been… challenging. Thanks to her, we realized how smart he really is, and the training completely changed how we handle things at home. Even his daycare noticed how much better his behavior got afterward! It honestly saved our sanity. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone struggling with training!

Highly recommend Modern Dog if you'd like to learn how to properly train your pup! Amanda is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and was able to teach us the proper techniques for managing our Italian Greyhounds energy and demand barking. We did the in home training which was very convenient and have had extremely positive results after the 4 lessons we purchased.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our trainer, Amanda. The care and effort that the trainers at Modern Dog Training put in go above and beyond that of a normal trainer. It’s evident from their philosophy around positive reinforcement and their willingness to answer any and all questions without judgement that they truly care about the dogs they work with and are passionate about fostering healthy and happy relationships between them and their owners.
