Dog & Puppy Training

Behavior problems are easier to prevent than to treat later on. Start training now, whether you just got an 8 week old pup or rescued an 8 year old senior! Set them up for success as early as possible to save time and money in the long run.

We have an option for everyone, from busy professionals who can’t take on the extra work, to pet parents who are involved in every aspect of their dog’s life.

Fear or Aggression

If your puppy or dog avoids visitors, growls at people or dogs on walks, tries to bite when you go near their stuff, or is so afraid of the world that they don’t even like walks, don’t worry, we can help!

Our comprehensive Behavior Consultations are the first step in finding relief for you and your pup. We will address your dog’s behavior, including their health, lifestyle, breed specific tendencies, and more.

Happy Clients & Pups

What people are saying about our dog training services:

★★★★★

I am so grateful to have found Vic to help us with our 3 year old lab, Teddy. I love that the focus was on Teddy and what would help him succeed. He doesn’t pull me anymore when we walk and I’m able to help him calm down when we see other dogs on our walk.

—Madelyne D. and Teddy

★★★★★

I highly recommend Don’t Worry Be Waggy to anyone looking for professional and effective dog training. Monty’s recall skills have improved tremendously, and our park hangouts are now more enjoyable and stress-free.

—Charli L. & Monty
