Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

Finn loves Believe in Dog! And we are grateful for the kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable staff that has helped us navigate the chaos of puppyhood! We have confident that no matter what he was there for - Puppy Day School, Puppy Class Part 1 or Puppy Class Part 2 - that he was getting top of the line training & attention. The trainers love and treat these dogs like their own and Finn absolutely melts whenever he sees Jae or one of his other trainers from from Puppy Day School. We’ve learned so much about how to help Finn be the best dog at every strip of life. Highly recommend!!

We enrolled our Field Golden Retriever named Moose in the Basic Manners class on Wednesday nights and we had a great time! The class was smaller than expected which was beneficial to us since Moose is a very friendly dog and we were afraid he would be too distracted by the other pups. However, the room is really spacious and they do a good job separating all the dogs. We really like their teaching methodology as well- which was basically to teach us as parents how to build a relationship with our dog so that he listens to us. We liked it so much that we signed up for the next class that starts mid April. Valerie was our teacher and we're really happy that she'll be teaching the class in April as well. From the very first class with Moose, we were super impressed by her. She was easily able to get all of the dogs in the class to listen to her commands and explained the lessons very well. Valerie stuck around after class too in case anyone had any questions (we had a lot). I highly recommend Believe in Dog. It has really worked well for us and Moose.
Love the training classes for puppies. Such great trainers - so knowledgeable and helpful.

Believe In Dog has truly been the best experience we could’ve had as puppy parents! Our puppy, Mocha, has attended Puppy Day school, puppy training classes and intermediate skills class. It is obvious how much she loves this place and all of her trainers. We as her parents have also enjoyed our experience with her classes and learning so much from all of her trainers. Everyone is so helpful and kind each time we go. If we had to go back and do it all again, we’d choose BIDT every single time.
