At Mr. Dog Training I want you and your dog(s) to reach their full potential. One of the most effective ways of doing this is learning how to properly communicate with your canine companion and learning to listen to them. When pets and people aren’t speaking the same language, it can be frustrating. Just like with any good relationship, communication is key!
I believe training should be fun, for both you and your dog, and that training with your dog should help create a strong, lasting relationship built on respect and trust. I take pride in providing a safe, fun, and compassionate environment to learn in.

Thank you for contacting me and congrats on the new puppy!
I offer a free drop in Puppy Preschool every Saturday morning from 10-10:30am for pups age 8-16 weeks. Puppies must have had their first round of distemper/parvo vaccine and been in your home at least 10 days prior to coming to class. As soon as your puppy meets these requirements then you are welcome to come!
When you come to Puppy Preschool you'll want to bring your puppy wearing a leash and a portion of high value food (cheese, boiled chicken, hot dogs, boiled egg, or sliced turkey) to use as rewards.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Charlie (16 months French bulldog) received during his two-week stay here. Leaving him for that long was not easy, but the daily videos and updates gave us so much peace of mind. It was amazing to see how happy, comfortable, and well cared for he was every day.
The 24-hour supervision, the backyard where the dogs can play, and the attention and love from the staff truly made a difference. Charlie made so many new friends and came home happy and healthy.
I highly recommend this place to any dog parents looking for a safe, loving, and trustworthy place for their furry family members. Thank you for taking such great care of Charlie — we truly appreciate everything you did! ❤️🐾

Louie and I highly recommend Mr. Dog training! We have just completed Brilliant Basics and can’t recommend it enough. Sara’s training methodology focuses on building the relationship and bond with your dog and increasing engagement. I learned so much about Louie’s body language and emotions to understanding what he’s communicating to me. Don’t sleep on Mr Dog training! You owe it to your dog to take this class!!
We also recommend FUN-gility - an exciting new thing to try and a great way to have fun together.
Thank you, Sara!

Took our two pups to the enrichment center in west Gardiner. The girls absolutely loved it!
We will definitely be utilizing the center more often. Very clean, great space, perfect for those with reactive dogs. We tried it for 30 mins and our girls were wiped out within 30 minutes!
