Beyond mere pets, dogs occupy a treasured spot within our families. At MuttSchool, we help you transform your dog into the canine companion you’ve always wanted by building lasting bonds based on mutual trust and respect instead of pain, fear, and intimidation. MuttSchool’s Certified Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT) have the experience and education to help you get the training results you’ve been looking for. Guided by LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) dog training methods, our trainers seek to foster a lifelong partnership between you and your canine companion.

MuttSchool instructors lay the foundation for a rewarding and enduring relationship between you and your dog by blending modern training methods and a profound understanding of the human-dog dynamic. Utilizing our diverse range of services, we can tailor a training plan that aligns perfectly with your goals for your dog’s training. The outcome? A well-behaved, confident canine that enriches your life and becomes an integral part of your family dynamics.

If you’re new to MuttSchool, we highly recommend starting with an evaluation. You and your dog will have the opportunity to meet with one of our professional trainers, who will address your concerns about your dog’s current training level and behavior. We will walk your dog through a 15-part “hands-on,” data-driven assessment, giving us a baseline for your dog’s training journey. This 90-minute evaluation allows us to gain insights into your dog’s behavior, handling tolerances, capacity for learning, marker training techniques, and setting training goals. We’ll also help you choose services that fit your schedule, budget, and dog’s unique personality and needs. We will send you home with some basic skills to get you started training with your dog immediately.

This evaluation empowers you with knowledge and equips you with the necessary tools for a good start on your dog’s training journey.

We combine our love for animals with education and experience. Our instructors proudly display their credentials, setting us apart in an industry where not all trainers carry certifications. Whether certified or in the process of accumulating training hours required to take the rigorous Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT) exams, our instructors exemplify mastery in humane, science-based dog training practices. Our dedication to yearly continuing education fortifies this commitment, ensuring that our clients benefit from the latest insights. With this background, our trainers create a supportive environment where learning is enjoyable for both you and your dog.
