Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
What is your training style?
All of our techniques are based on positive reinforcement and understanding the dog's triggers and motivations for behavior. This helps us teach new more appropriate responses to situations that are problematic for the dog. Our training is structured to be enjoyable for both the dogs and humans, making practice and learning fun and easy to do!

We had a great experience doing the puppy essentials class with our puppy, Cohen. Julie and Shaunacy were super knowledgeable and provided helpful skills and training exercises for us and our puppy. The hybrid class schedule works well with busy work lives and we also appreciated the other perks like free ask the trainer calls and puppy socials. Will be returning for more classes in the fall.
I wanted to share what a wonderful experience I had working with Alison and Juliana in the Puppy Essentials course. They were both extremely knowledgeable and patient, teaching me valuable skills to keep my energetic, opinionated puppy engaged. I look forward to taking more classes with them in the future to build on what we've learned.
Pumpkin Pups free weekly Ask the Trainer zoom has helped us with our anxious rescue dog so much. The trainers are so knowledgeable and we appreciate the accessibility of a free Q & A 🫶🏻

As someone who knows a little about dog training, it's very clear that they know A LOT- whenever I decribe an issue, they are able to both give me broader knowledge about dogs in general to help contextualize the behavior, and dig into the specifics of my dog. My highest complement is that they don't just prescribe plans. They have consistently given me tools to understand and think better about training my dog so I can figure out more on my own than I could before.
