Capitol Area Dog Training and Behavior Consulting - Germantown, MD
Would you like to have a well-mannered dog, who comes when he's called, doesn't knock your guests or family members over when they come in, goes for a nice walk, and doesn't drag you down the street? Private, in-home training is the key to more personal freedom for you and the complete enjoyment of your best friend. I'll teach you and your dog the communication skills to make this possible, and fun! Let me show you how.
I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed, a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, a Certified American Treibball Trainer, and the owner of Capitol Area Dog Training and Behavior Consulting, LLC, in Germantown, Maryland. I love working with your family and your pets, using all force-free methods, and specializing in shy or fearful dogs.
