How it works

Our Approach

Start With A Consult

Evaluate

With a free phone consultation, we assess you and your dog's needs and answer any questions you may have.

Tailored Program

We then customize a lesson plan that addresses your dog's specific issues.

Individual Sessions

In-person, at home, or in the park, we meet you and your dog and get to work.

What Makes Us Different

It's one thing for someone else to tell you what they did, it's another for you to do it yourself.

Bad Dog Training prides itself on not only giving you the information to help your dog, but the tools and techniques for you to apply them yourself.

Other training facilities may board-and-train your dog, teaching them how to be better behaved, but if you don't learn this yourself first hand, your dog is more likely to regress and fall back on its habits.

By making you accountable, Bad Dog Training hopes to make you the best pack leader your dog has ever had.

FAQ

Have Any Questions You Need Answered?

Is obedience training the same as fixing bad behavior?

No. A well-trained dog doesn't necessarily mean you have a well-balanced dog. Just because your dog knows simple commands like sit or stay doesn't mean the rest of their needs are being met.

My dog seems really set in their ways. Can they still learn? Even at an old age?

Are some breeds more dangerous than others?

Does my dog need vaccines in order to train with you?

Is attaching a leash to a dog's neck harmful? I heard harnesses are safer.

Isn't my backyard enough for my dog? They don't need walks that much, right?

I don't want to be mean to my dog by telling them what to do.
