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.

Our puppy Bingo is OBSESSED with Believe in Dog! From their day school to puppy classes to boutique store, they are the best place to go for training and enrichment. They have the most kind and caring trainers who equip dogs and their humans with the best tools and knowledge to make dogs thrive at home and in the world. Alyssa, Kate, Megan, and every single trainer that has worked with Bingo has shown her such love and patience. We've done Puppy Class Parts One and Two as well as many days at Puppy Day School. The comfort we felt after our first class was priceless. We have seen Bingo go from a misbehaving little pup to one that is so smart and can get commands and tricks down so quickly. The socialization aspect helped her so much when she wasn't able to go out before receiving all of her shots, and it gave us a jump start on training. I cannot express how patient and caring these trainers are with every puppy and dog that walks through the door! We will continue to go back to them for more classes and enrichment days because they are the best!

I can’t thank Stephanie enough for everything she’s done for my rescue pup and me. From the moment we walked in, she was kind, patient, and so understanding of my dog’s past. During our private session, she took the time to build trust and made my dog feel safe in a way I didn’t think was possible. You can tell she truly cares and has such a gift for working with animals. I’m beyond grateful for her help—she’s absolutely amazing, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup!
We had the best experience in Puppy Class 1 at Believe in Dog! Our trainer, Valerie, was amazing. She was such a great coach to us humans to help us better understand our pup Riley. It was also just fun to watch the pups learn and grow and play together. We will be back for Puppy Class 2.
Believe in Dog is amazing! Megan is such a great trainer -positive, patient and so knowledgeable. The whole team is friendly, helpful, and super professional. Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog, I can't recommend them enough!
