Letting Dogs Socialize and Thrive

Dogs with good social skills can more appropriately interact with different people, animals and environments. In fact, socialization can often help cut down on aggression, anxiety and other undesirable behaviors in these settings. Without being properly socialized, your dog may display unpleasant behaviors — excessive barking, lunging, growling, trembling, incontinence, etc. — when around new stimuli.

Socialization behavior modification can help your dog learn more adaptability to situations where unique distractions are present. Our trainers know that to be successful, we have to meet your dog where they’re at. We have successfully helped dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments acclimate to social environments and thrive wherever they are. Big or small, puppy or adult, we’ll teach your dog skills to help them succeed around others.

Benefits of Dog Socialization Training

Teaching your dog proper socialization behavior can provide a number of benefits, such as:

  • Reduced fear and anxiety.
  • Improved behavior around other dogs.
  • Increased confidence and self-assurance.
  • Easier adaptability to new environments and stimuli.

In addition, we’ll teach your dog that you’re their biggest advocate in public by reinforcing bonds that help reassure them that you’ve got their back.

Nationally Acclaimed Dog Trainers

Salvatore was great! He was on time, patient and encouraging. My dog took to him right away. Brazzie listens to me now and does not show anxiety towards other animals.
I brought my first dog here to help train with her aggression and within the first week I noticed such a difference with her attention and behavior! The trainers here are diligent and really show you how facilitate the training at home! Our puppy kai is always getting compliments of how well behaved he is around other people and I couldn’t of gotten him to this point without their guidance and training!
My dog, Roux, completed her day train program today and our experience has been great! From her puppy classes through 5 weeks of day train she has learned a lot and demonstrated her intelligence and trainability! The trainers are very knowledgeable and work around your dogs strengths and weaknesses and maximize on their full potential not just the basics.
