Mutts n More Dog Obedience Training - Fountain, MI
As a certified dog trainer with over five years of experience and credentials from the Animal Behavior College (ABCDT), I am dedicated to helping pets and their owners navigate the journey of obedience and companionship. I specialize in a range of services, including basic obedience, housebreaking, crate training, and socialization for both puppies and older rescue dogs. My training techniques incorporate the use of positive reinforcement, including praise, treats, and appropriate equipment such as Martingale collars and slip leads, ensuring that every session is both effective and enjoyable for your furry friend.
My training approach goes beyond just teaching commands; I also focus on training reactive dogs and empowering owners to effectively communicate with their pets. As an American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator and Temperament Test Certified, I ensure that my methods adhere to the highest standards of canine behavior and safety. I also hold certifications in Pet First Aid and CPR from the American Red Cross, giving you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in capable hands. For your convenience, I offer both in-person and online training sessions, and I am proud to serve our community within a 30-mile radius.
My passion for dogs drives me to create a positive environment where both pets and their owners thrive. Whether you’re looking to improve your dog’s obedience skills or need help with behavioral issues, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Ready to get started?
