About Doggieology 101
We're a dog training business that focuses on rehabilitating a dog’s behavior using dog psychology and state of mind FIRST, then obedience. We help people improve the relationships with their dogs and bring about changes in behavior fairly quickly because we teach you how to communicate effectively and calmly with your dog. Our philosophy is simple : we guide direct honor the dog to achieve cooperation and harmony within the relationship! All breeds are welcome; silly doodles to the predictably unpredictable. Once you train with us, you can board and daycare with us! We're the ONLY training facility you and your dog will ever need! We got you! Check out our 5 star rep and 150 reviews on our website!

I highly recommend Carla and Suzanne! They know how to train dogs-It’s like they speak their language! If a rock solid foundation with lasting results are what you are looking for, look no further! My 6 month old Golden did a 2 week stay n train and it has been life changing for both of us - i am no longer super stressed and Goldie is so much calmer- now she follows My Lead instead of me following hers!🤗

Haven’t met anyone with more knowledge of everything about humans and dogs. Carla made a huge difference in our first dog’s behavior without taking away his always-wagging-tail personality, and greetings for other dogs and stranger-humans. Our new puppy (8 months old) just came home from her Doggieology101 stay and is really transformed. Now it’s up to her humans to stick with Carla’s guidelines post-training.
Suzanne was an amazing trainer of both our puppy Buddha and us. We also appreciated the time that Carla spent with us. We are so happy that Buddha graduated from Puppy Pre School
Always a good day when Murphy is here. He loves it and always comes back exhausted. Plus he learns so much while there! Can’t say enough good things!
