Savvy City Dog - CCPDT Certified Private Dog Trainer - Washington, DC
I help puppy and dog owners to lay solid training foundations, as well as to resolve any training and behavior issues that come up. I have over 18 years of experience. I have a particular interest in helping new puppy owners, new parents, new adopters, and dogs dealing with leash aggression.
At Savvy City Dog, our specialty lies in cultivating effective training methods rooted in fostering a joyful and healthy relationship with your canine companion. Recognizing the diverse challenges that come with dog ownership, whether it's navigating puppy training, addressing behavior complexities, or establishing harmony with a new rescue, we offer a comprehensive array of services to meet every specific requirement.
Understanding the individuality of each dog, we tailor our approach to cater to their unique needs. Whether it's guiding you through the trials of puppyhood or assisting with behavioral hurdles in older dogs, such as anxiety or aggression, our expertise equips us to overcome any challenge you may encounter.
Our ethos is grounded in the belief that, with the right guidance and training, any dog has the potential to become a well-mannered and contented member of your family. Let us join you on this journey and assist you in achieving that goal!
Please contact and book my private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You.
