What people have asked about this business.
Do you only train puppies? My Wire Fox Terrier just turned 2. Have had her since 9 weeks old. Surgeries and health issues have kept me from her getting the training she needed. She is extremely loving with people and other dogs
She has a class that would be right for you

Hello! We train dogs of all ages. We would love to work with your 2-year old. Please check our website at believeindogtraining.com to see what services we offer. Very likely the best service for you will be our Adolescent-Adult Basic Manners class.

I cannot speak highly enough of BIDT. Our sweet girl Moxie is a rescue pup and while she was amazing with us she really struggled with fear of new things, especially new people and dogs. We signed her up for puppy day school and puppy class part 1&2. She is such a different puppy from when she first started. She can now meet new people confidently as well as go out and be in public. She also has found confidence to initiate play with other dogs, and be in a group of dogs. I do not know where we would have been without the trainers at BIDT. They truly care, and meet your pup where they are at.
I cannot imagine how she would be if we had waited until she was fully vaccinated to start taking her out and about in an attempt to start socializing her or waiting until she was older to sign her up for a general puppy training class. I just do not think she would be the same, and we are so grateful we found BIDT and got her started when we did.
We also will be continuing to go back to them as she gets older for more training courses because they don't just help train your pup but also help train you on how best to bond and work with your dog. Every penny spent with them is beyond worth it.

Believe in Dog is an outstanding resource for reward based dog behavior modification. Stephanie and Megan are amazing. Every class offers actionable ideas and lessons to help your dog to manage the world around them. Our reactive pup is well on her way to "good dog" during every walk.
