About House of Dog Training Center
This Location holds dog training classes, private lessons and dog training seminars. We use positive reinforcement-based dog training methods and the least intrusive methods nurturing the bond with your companion animal. We don't us aversive stimulation (fear) positive punishment/negative reinforcement based methods. We find them unethical, inefficent, ineffective when working with your companion animal. These methods come with behavior risks like (fall out, flooding, shutting down) and deteriorate the human animal bond. We are also very passionate about pet-overpopulation and the plight of homeless dogs. Having extensive experience working with rescue animals, we know that the right training and behavior change program helps these animals.

I have done puppy K with my puppy and two rounds of Good Dog class with my 8 year old mill rescue dog. All were with Emery, who was so kind and sweet, as well as being a wonderful instructor. My mill rescue really started to develop more confidence around people and in new places thanks to him and to get experiences at HOD. It also strengthened our bond. She loved going to so much, she would howl with joy and anticipation the whole car ride. I mention her so much rather than my puppy because she recently passed unexpectedly and, looking back, I'm *so* grateful that we spent this special time together where she got wonderful treats and where her world expanded. By the last class, she even went through the fully expanded tunnel! So, I would recommend these classes even if you have an adult dog, a dog who is well behaved, a small dog, etc.. Your dog will love going here and will LOVE getting to bond with you even more. And you both will have wonderful memories.
Great class. Will be going back.
Jordan is a well spoken and obviously very passionate trainer. She helped us get more in tune with our dog to better understanding how he shows his likes and dislikes along with some excellent behavior optimization techniques. Highly recommend this place if you are looking to learn about your dog more and how to be a better pet parent!
