Board and Train

The Grateful Dog NW specializes in transformative board and train programs, revolutionizing canine behavior through a 180-degree change in habits. Our expertise in dog training spans numerous personalities, enabling us to maintain consistent rules and expectations. Every interaction, from being fed to hanging out with us like one of our own our formal training sessions are meticulously crafted for optimal learning. We prioritizes socialization with well-behaved, safe dogs, ensuring each pet is treated as part of our family. Our approach is built on establishing a trusting, fun bond with dogs, fostering teamwork rather than mere obedience. This isn’t about commands without reason; it's about working together for a positive outcome. Unlike many companies, The Grateful Dog NW refrains from defaulting to e-collars or 'shock' collars, except in rare, high-level obedience scenarios. Our training methodology, honed through guidance from top-notch trainers, emphasizes positive reinforcement, making the learning process enjoyable for dogs. Our unique bond with canines, based on mutual understanding and respect, sets us apart in the world of dog training."

Puppy foundations 30-45minute

Puppies are sponges and are waiting to have their confidence built up. A confident dog is far less dangerous than a nervous or scared dog! Dogs live in a fast-paced, at times overwhelming human-shaped world. I excel in building a dog’s self-assurance by giving the dog the tools and ability to navigate what could be thought of by the dog in a stressful or intimidating situation. From everyday rules and boundaries to obedience foundation, your puppy will be shown a new way to look at their world! By taking a puppy that has not experienced a lot and giving them the tools and rules to confidently navigate the world that they live in, I will build a communication system for you and your dog to learn together. Puppies are fun and cute and it can be easy to let them get away with things you may not allow an older dog to. This is where a strong foundation can be helpful. Dogs inherently want a leader within the pack. With my system, you can become the leader, but more so become their partner. I like my dogs to work with me, not for me. •virtual puppy lesson $100
