Training Methods

Our Mission is to help you communicate more clearly with your dog.

Unlike typical classes that meet in the same place with the same group of dogs, our training is flexible and tailored to your needs. We begin in your home, either virtually or in-person, where your dog feels safe and comfortable. As your dog masters the basics, we gradually introduce new environments with more distractions. This helps your dog learn to listen and respond confidently, no matter where you are.

Virtual training empowers owners to become their dog's best trainer

Our method allows you improve behavior while building trust and confidence from the comfort of home. Our virtual one-on-one training allows you to work with your dog on your own schedule with no rigid class times or stressful commutes. We give expert guidance and clear, easy-to-follow instructions to help you adjust training to your dog's personality and focus on your dog’s individual needs.

Great dog training starts with you!

We want you to feel confident in your training journey. At Trainer on Retainer, we know that every dog and owner are different. That’s why we work with you to create an individual plan that fits your needs and helps you connect with your dog. You will be hands-on to lead your dog’s training and not just watch a trainer work. This puts you in charge and deepens your bond with your dog. 

We want to help your dog's personality shine

Every dog has its own quirks.

We at Trainer on Retainer value each dog’s unique character and avoid training methods that suppress their natural personality and spirit. We do not force obedience through fear or harsh correction. Rather, we focus on communication, structure, and positive guidance that bring out the best in your dog. This approach builds trust between you and your dog and allows them to be themselves instead of simply obeying out of intimidation.
