1. We teach more than just “commands”.

At MuttSchool, we believe in empowering your dog to make appropriate choices instead of teaching them to strictly follow commands. Our innovative training approach goes beyond teaching the basic “sit, down, stay, come and heel” (although we do that, too.) Our methods set us apart because we utilize an effective and personalized approach, rooted in behavioral science, to teach your dog FUNdamental life concepts such as:

  • problem solving
  • calmness
  • focus
  • disengagement
  • confidence
  • proximity
  • and more.

At MuttSchool, we teach you and your dog a variety of fun and engaging exercises that you can incorporate into your daily routine. These exercises, take only a few minutes a day, and can have a transformative impact on your relationship with your dog.

2. We personalize training methods to fit your dog’s unique personality and learning style.

At MuttSchool, our trainers understand the significance of tailoring our training methods to your dog’s unique strengths and weaknesses. We firmly believe in the principle of training the dog in front of us, recognizing that every canine companion possesses its own set of characteristics and learning style. Instead of relying on generic, one-size-fits-all approaches, we work closely with you to assess your dog’s specific needs and personality traits. By doing so, we can craft a customized training plan that leverages your dog’s strengths while addressing their weaknesses. This individualized approach not only enhances the effectiveness of the training but also strengthens the bond between you and your four-legged friend, ensuring a more fulfilling and successful learning experience for both you and your beloved pet.

3. We deliver value, expertise, and convenience.

Private lessons at MuttSchool offer exceptional value for both you and your canine companion. Our tailored approach ensures individual attention, allowing us to focus on your dog’s unique needs and behavior challenges. With a team of expert trainers, we bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every session, guaranteeing the most effective training methods for your dog. What’s more, our flexible scheduling options, whether in-home or at our training center, offer you the utmost convenience. We understand the importance of getting real value for your investment, and that’s why our private lessons are designed to deliver tangible results. Prioritize your dog’s progress, convenience, and your hard-earned money by choosing MuttSchool for private dog training.

Training Tips

Is it safe to bring a young puppy to a group class?
Is it safe to bring a young puppy to a group class?

Veterinarians specializing in behavior recommend that owners take advantage of every safe opportunity to expose young puppies to the great variety of stimuli that they will experience in their lives. Enrolling in puppy classes prior to three months of age can be an excellent means of improving training, strengthening the human-animal bond, and socializing puppies in an environment where risk of illness can be minimized.
