We offer specialized in home, virtual and “in the wild” sessions. Your dog gets to train within their comfort zone.

Our Training Style


As with all of our training at What a Great Dog! Training Center, we utilize positive, reward-based training methods in all of our day training, group classes and private lessons. We’re excited to share how fun AND effective positive training is with people new to the techniques!

 

Our Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) strategies are both humane and effective while utilizing the most recent scientific evidence for canine behavior modification. This strategy aligns with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) position statement.
