Notre Dog Academy - In Home Dog Training Service - Tacoma, WA
At Notre Dog Academy, I am passionate about providing exceptional day school and training services tailored to meet the unique needs of your furry family members. With my certification as a Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and approval from the American Kennel Club as a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, I have dedicated my career to enhancing the bond between pets and their owners. I offer personalized private training lessons in the comfort of your own home, ensuring your dog feels safe and secure while learning essential skills.
My day school program is designed for a select group of just five dogs per day, promoting a focused and nurturing environment. Under my constant supervision, your dog will engage in structured enrichment activities, interactive play, and group training sessions. Each day includes two twenty-minute private training sessions, allowing for targeted behavior modification and skill development. I believe in positive reinforcement methods, which means your dog will learn effectively without the fear of punishment. My qualifications, which also include memberships with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), assure you that I employ proven, humane techniques.
Whether you have a small dog or a larger breed, I am equipped to handle dogs of all sizes and offer mobile services to make training accessible for you. I’ve been serving the pet community since December 2021, and I understand the importance of flexibility and convenience for busy pet parents. If you're ready to transform your pet's behavior and enhance their happiness, then let’s get started! Book me through Petworks today and give your dog the best training experience they deserve!
