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.

Doggy Fitness! We just wrapped up the 6 week course of doggy fitness and had the best time. I was a little nervous about the length of class (1.5 hrs), but my pup proved he could do it since it was all about the fun! Our trainers were Valorie and Jae - they were 10/10 helpful! Our pup is a 3 year old whippet. We loved getting new ideas on how to keep our pup tip top while having fun and him learning he has back legs because what even is rear-end awareness? Thank you both for a fun class!

We have done multiple classes at Believe in Dog and each has been better than the next! From basic puppy skills to our most recent class - Doggie Fitness - each has helped teach us (the pawrents and our dogs) new skills and help reinforce old ones. Doggie fitness, one of their speciality classes, has been the most fun as it helped our whippet really step out of his comfort zone to overcome obstacles, challenge his mind, and even learn balance and mobility exercises. We could not recommend BIDs training style and all their classes more highly - we will be back for more!

We love Believe in Dog! We brought our dog, Walker, here to work on his reactivity to other dogs. We loved working with Megan in our 1-on-1. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and made us feel very welcome and supported. We also enjoyed attending the Pre-Reactive Rover Class to help practice Walker’s new skills. The facilities are clean and spacious, and there’s lots of great toys and treats in the shop up front. We’ve learned lots of new techniques to help keep Walker calm, confident, and safe when we go out!

We are so happy with our results from the reactive rover training! We learned so many new tools that we can use to better help our dog in her reactive moments. I love how knowledgeable and kind the trainers are! I highly recommend this facility! They use positive reinforcement which is amazing and works! 😊

We took a basic manners class & loved it. The place is very spacious with fun indoor & outdoor spaces that were always clean. Staff & trainers are helpful & friendly. They also have a nice shop and allow your dog to sample items.
