About Mr. Dog Training
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.

My pup taught me a lot during our first course with Sarah. Sarah has a way of opening the communication between my four-legged, free-loading roommate :-)
Excellent class! We will take more classes and practice!! Instructor has a great sense of humor as well. Enjoyable.
Nova had great experience with Sarah we love Mr. Dog. We will be doing more classes with Sarah!
I got a doberman after years of owning small dogs. When he was a puppy, I enrolled in my first course with Mr Dog Training after hearing from a friend about how great this trainer is! Sara has been amazing in helping him, and me, learn the basics of obedience while he is young including loose leash walking. It has all been done with positive reinforcement and has strengthened our bond!
