What 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.

Believe in Dog is easily our Beagles favorite place. All the trainers are amazing, friendly and super patient with all the puppies and dogs.
Not only do they offer great training classes, they also offer fun classes to keep your dog entertained and burn off their energy. Our beagles two favorite fun classes have been Pawfitness and Nosework classes. Valerie & Jae who taught Pawfitness made the class very enjoyable and challenging for the dogs. Our beagle and myself would be tired after the class in a very good way haha. Would recommend Pawfitness and Nosework classes to anyone who wants to have a tired pup after.

I cannot recommend Believe in Dog Training highly enough! A friend told me about it and I'm so glad I tried it. Taking some private classes and then the Reactive Rover course has been incredible. Before we took classes at Believe in Dog, I was discouraged and felt stuck. I didn't know how to handle my dog's bad habits (pulling on the leash, jumping on people, and especially her reactivity towards other dogs). Now she is much calmer and more attentive on walks and I feel confident about how to continue training and working with her using the tools and strategies that I've learned at Believe in Dog.

Trainers are great, and very friendly! We are currently doing some intro classes for our 2 year old mix that we rescued about a year ago, and she is picking everything well. I recommend them if you're considering signing your pup up for training classes.

I can’t recommend this training program enough! As the owner of a pittie mix puppy, it was really important to me to raise her to be a well-mannered, confident dog and help break the stereotypes that often come with her breed. The trainers have been amazing and have helped her flourish in the most positive way.
Everything they teach is based on positive reinforcement, and you can tell they genuinely care about every dog that comes through their doors. They go above and beyond to support both the puppies and their owners, and they make training fun and achievable.
You also have to put in the work at home too! If you stay consistent with what they teach in class, your puppy is absolutely being set up for success. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for my girl and would highly recommend them to any puppy owner!
Sad to be moving to another city otherwise I would continue going there!

We have done 3 classes at Believe in Dog: Basic training, intermediate training, and most recently the Fitness class. All were so fun and great for my dog! She gained confidence and we bonded. The Fitness class was great because she stood on different structures, jumped, walked backwards and more. It was also good for her to be in a controlled space with other dogs because she gets a little anxious and this helped boost her confidence.
