Consistent Canine Dog Training - Frederick, MD

Member since Jan 2018

At Consistent Canine, I am dedicated to helping you and your dog thrive as a cohesive team. With my certifications as an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator and a CTA Certified Dog Trainer (CCDT), I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Whether you have a small pup under 20 lbs or a large companion over 80 lbs, my tailored training programs are designed to meet the unique needs of every dog. I specialize in dog obedience training, behavior modification, and service dog training, ensuring a well-rounded approach to your pet's development.

I have been serving our furry friends since October 2021, and during this time, I've honed my skills in various training techniques, including positive reinforcement methods and the use of tools like clickers, head collars, and prong collars. I also prioritize safety, holding certification in Pet First Aid and CPR from the American Red Cross. I can accommodate dogs of all sizes, from 20-79 lbs, and I’m committed to creating effective training strategies that lead to lasting behavioral changes. While I don't offer mobile services, I provide online sessions for your convenience, making it easier than ever to work together, no matter where you are.

Ready to embark on this rewarding journey with your canine companion? Let’s work together to achieve your training goals and build a harmonious relationship with your pet. Book me through Petworks today, and let's get started on transforming your dog into a well-behaved member of your family!
