Local Training
Professional dog training for Kenmore families
Dog owners in Kenmore need training that carries over into everyday life—not commands that only work inside a controlled lesson. We help owners build clearer communication, more reliable behavior, and practical skills that can be used at home, during neighborhood walks, around visitors, and in busy public settings.
All lessons, evaluations, boarding, and board-and-train programs take place at our training facility in Kenmore, Washington. Working from one consistent training environment gives us access to the structure, equipment, and controlled distractions needed to evaluate behavior and build new skills thoughtfully.
Whether your dog is a young puppy learning the basics or an adult dog struggling with reactivity, overexcitement, leash pulling, or unreliable obedience, we create a plan based on the dog in front of us. We welcome dogs of every age, breed, size, and training background.
Before You Book
What to expect when training with us
Every dog starts with an intake
Every new dog begins with a required 90–120 minute intake assessment. This gives us time to meet you and your dog, discuss your goals, observe behavior, and recommend the most appropriate training plan.
Appointments may be available within 48 hours
Depending on our current schedule, we may be able to get you and your dog into the facility in as little as 48 hours. Current availability is shown through PocketSuite during booking.
All ages and breeds are welcome
We work with puppies, adolescent dogs, adult dogs, and seniors across breeds, sizes, temperaments, and levels of prior training.
Bring your dog and a positive attitude
You do not need to bring a long list of special equipment to your intake. Bring your dog, arrive ready to learn, and we will guide you through what is needed from there.
Board and train starts at five days
Our board-and-train programs have a minimum duration of five days. The appropriate program length will depend on your dog, your goals, and the behaviors we are working to improve.
Off-boarding is included
Every board-and-train program includes an off-boarding session. We walk you through your dog’s training, demonstrate the skills that were developed, and show you how to continue the work at home.
