Individual & Group Dog Training

Personalized Paths to Pawsitive Behavior

Tailored Dog Training for Every Pup’s Potential

At PawHootz, we believe that every dog is unique, which is why we offer both individual and group training sessions designed to bring out the best in your furry friend. Whether your pup needs one-on-one attention to tackle specific behaviors or thrives in a social learning environment, our experienced trainers are here to guide them every step of the way. Our positive reinforcement techniques ensure that training is not only effective but also enjoyable for your dog.

Types of Dog Training We Offer

Individual Training

Our Training Academy at PawHootz is dedicated to bringing you the most relevant and up-to-date dog training methods. This is why all our dog and puppy training uses gentle, reward-based methods that ensure your dog’s success. Our professional dog trainers will help your dog learn in a comfortable environment and provide you with the tools to continue your pup's learning at home.

We offer two options for individual training: Dog Day Training and Private Dog Lessons. These sessions are a great way for your dog to learn new tricks or work on essential skills like potty training or barking. All individual training is customized for your pup, meaning you won't pay for us to teach skills they already know.

Group Training

At Bark University, our certified trainers will guide you and your pup to progress through four levels of dog training. Each level introduces new skills to your dog while they continue to practice previous skills with more distractions. Lessons may be customized based on the dogs in the group and their needs, which is typically rare for group training.

Our trainers nurture your relationship with your dog while you work with your pet on each new skill at PawHootz and at home. Specific requirements must be met prior to moving to new levels, but you and your dog can progress through the skills at your own pace. It’s a new twist on dog training and allows busy pet parents the flexibility they need to enhance their dog's skill development.
Great team ! Special thanx to Deborah for her patience and hard work with our Lola!

As a Beginner, your dog will primarily focus on:
  • Self Soothing – getting your dog to relax
  • Name and Cue – getting attention and focus
  • Sit at Side – for loose leash walking
  • Jumping – correcting greeting behavior
