Questions & answers
From Google
What 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!

My senior dog just graduated from Manners one class yesterday and I’m so proud of the progress she’s made since taking classes at PumpkinPup. I can’t thank our instructors Alison and Julie enough for their guidance throughout the training program. I’m a first time pet owner having recently adopted a dog that never had formal training. I knew she would benefit from classes, but wasn’t sure where to begin or what she was capable of given her age. I’m glad I found the team at PumpkinPups who taught me that it’s never too late to late for a dog to learn.
The great thing about their program is that classes are flexible, made up of only four dogs,and led by two instructors. My dog received plenty of individual attention and practice during each session. Classes were engaging and the instructors were so knowledgeable about dog behavior. Practice and learning were also fun and easy to do. The instructors here want your dog to succeed. They’re caring, very practical in their approach, and great at explaining techniques and reasoning. The best thing about the sessions are that although classes follow a set curriculum, dogs are encouraged to learn at their own pace and the instructors aren’t afraid to get creative with their techniques! I highly recommend and am so grateful to now have the tools I need to continue training my dog.

I am so glad I made the decision to enroll in the Manners One class at PumpkinPups. Being a first time dog owner, I went into training with many questions and concerns. Every trainer was knowledgeable, kind, and understood that every dog is different in how they learn and adapt. I loved that my class was 4 dogs total, so it was a calm setting for training where my dog was not overwhelmed. Each class felt like it went by so quickly because I was so immersed in learning and training each session. I cannot recommend PumpkinPups highly enough, and I will definitely be going back for more training in the future.

Pumpkin pups was amazing! The instructors are professional and friendly and they were super helpful in answering questions by email and in person. I highly recommend them as a place to get your puppy training. The class was most beneficial to us as puppy parents and we have learned a lot. Looking forward to our next set of classes!
