Stand Proud Dog Training

I adopted a bully breed mix in January after my soul dog passed, and quickly found that she was a lot more than I was expecting. She was being considered for quality of life euthanasia at the shelter due to her extreme shut down, and as she opened up with me, it was found that she was extremely reactive with everything, scared of outside and most humans, and in general didn't know how to exist as a regular dog. I reached out to several trainings places and Danielle got back to me within 24 hours, listened to my story, and set up an appointment. My Hazel stayed with Brandon and crew for 6 weeks, and it was the best decision for her and me. She's a work in progress, but Stand Proud Dog Training worked with both of us every step of the way. Answered all of my questions (even silly, anxiety filled ones), was realistic but caring, and truly cares about helping dogs who need it. If you need behavior modification, training, or even puppy classes, these guys are the best.

We highly recommend Stand Proud Dog Training! It is the best dog training service in Northern Nevada. The team is exceptional at what they do and truly cares about the dogs they work with. They possess a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with challenging breeds. They have taken great care of our dog and always treat her with kindness, patience, and professionalism. The staff is incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive, giving us peace of mind knowing our dog is in good hands. They go above and beyond to ensure every dog is well cared for and receives the attention they need. It’s clear they are passionate about helping dogs and their owners succeed. Thank you to the entire Stand Proud Dog Training team for your dedication and outstanding care. We are grateful for everything you’ve done for our dog and our family!

Stand Proud Dog Training has been a life changer for us and our Marshall. We had recently put our 2 year old rescue Dal in a 4 week b&t program for his separation anxiety and had seen results on day 1 after his pick up. They kept us updated throughout b&t and made us feel better about his time away from us because we did indeed miss him so so much! Stand Proud is the perfect place to turn to if you ever want to start training your dog. My boyfriend and I, both in our early 20s and still in school, wanted a more comfortable, calm, confident, and happy dog. We didnt want our walks to be overbearing and out of control nor did we want Marshall to live his doggy life in an anxious state of mind everywhere we go. If you have the same desire to help your dog get started, Stand Proud is the way to go! Whether it be for aggression, separation anxiety, or even just basic obedience, Stand Proud does it all! Don’t be scared to reach out and get started with them. The Stand Proud team has been a great help and are very clear and communicative with their teaching methods. The price isn’t something you could beat for the services they offer with it. I seen many b&t programs charging $5k+ which, as students, is way out of our budget. Stand Proud worked with us and helped us find a solution. Any questions I have, Im not too scared to turn and ask Stand Proud for help or guidance. This is not a scam! Start your doggy’s journey today! :))

Stand Proud Dog Training will change your relationship with your dog and vastly improve your lives together. This is Mimi, my 2 1/2 year old poodle mix. She is in advanced classes, and is recognized as very well behaved dog wherever we go. But she wasn’t always this way. I brought Mimi to Stand Proud when I was having problems with her obedience and counter surfing; Mimi did not listen and she ate and got into everything. After my first consultation with Brandon, Stand Proud’s owner, I realized Mimi was not a bad dog, she just lacked the tools and experiences necessary for a peaceful coexistence, but it was up to me to provide both for her. So, I put her in a two week board and train. Was it hard? Yes. But it was also surreal to see how resilient, intelligent, and adaptable she was when I picked her up. She had excellent leash skills, she listened and maintained eye contact, and she knew how to hold herself in place for up to 45 minutes. All this was achieved through the outstanding work of Stand Proud’s trainers. They worked with her several hours a day in repetitions that came with high reward. She still has a strong, positive relationship with her trainers, evident in her wagging tail and wiggling body every time she sees them in class. With Stand Proud, you’re provided with the tools and experiences that help you become the confident leader your dog needs to be confident in themselves. This is the essential connection to make with your “bad” dog. It’s a you-thing. It’s what I learned, and it’s why we have come very far together—Mimi and I. You gain lifetime access to pack walks where you will meet up with all the trained dogs and go on walks together in public. The classes are held in public spaces where you will be exposed to all sorts of common challenges to your dogs attention. And you can scale up in difficulty, the kinds of tasks you wish to take on with your dog. There are also private lessons where you can work on very acute challenges you experience with your dog, AND… puppy classes! If you’re reading this and are wondering if Stand Proud is the right trainer, or the right fit, I assure you: they are. They have done so much for me, and even more for my dog Mimi. Give them a call, it will change everything.
