Capitol Area Dog Training and Behavior Consulting - Germantown, MD
Are you looking for a well-mannered dog who responds when called, greets guests politely, and enjoys leisurely walks without pulling you down the street? I offer private, in-home dog training that unlocks more freedom and joy for both you and your furry friend. With my guidance, you and your dog will learn essential communication skills that make training both effective and enjoyable.
I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant with specialized certifications including being an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen (AKC CGC) Approved Evaluator. As the owner of Capitol Area Dog Training and Behavior Consulting, LLC, based in Germantown, Maryland, I bring over two years of expertise in force-free methods, focusing on shy or fearful dogs. I serve a wide range of dogs, from those under 20 lbs to those up to 79 lbs, ensuring a tailored approach that suits your pet's unique needs.
My services extend beyond just dogs; I understand that pet behavior can be unpredictable, which is why I offer the convenience of mobile services for those unexpected "cat-astrophes." Insured and equipped with a variety of tools such as clickers, front-clip harnesses, and treats, I am dedicated to making training a positive experience for your pet. Ready to transform your pet’s behavior? Book me through Petworks today!
