So glad you stopped in for a visit!
Does your dog need more out of life? Do you want to put that extra energy to good use…or have a personal trainer stop by and work your dog out? Maybe you want to make good on your promise to “do more” with your best friend, but don’t need a regular training class, because you already know basics like sit and down. How about something totally different, fun, educational, and good for you and your dog’s health? We wouldn’t expect you to settle for anything less.
At In Joy Dog Training, we expect that you already know a thing or two about your dog. Whether you’re a brand-new or experienced trainer, our classes provide a unique, fun, supportive environment full of ideas and helpful direction on how to making good use of learning theory and positive training strategies. We want to equip you with a solid comprehension of dog training principles, teach you how to answer your own questions, and give you a boatload full of fun ideas of stuff to do with your dog!
Something that makes training at In Joy Dog Training different from training most other places is that your time in our school doesn’t ever have to end. Surely, there are always new tricks, more complicated additions to current tricks, more agility variables to address, better, faster…One of the great things about training like this is there’s always more fun to be had. But don’t get us wrong. If you just want to join us for a session or two and become a savvy trick trainer, you’ll leave with the skills to keep working on ideas on your own. But if you want to get great feedback, guidance and support along your path, we can help you get there even faster. Our main intent is to get you hooked on a whole new outlook of what it’s like to train your dog.
Oh, and those “problems” you and your dog have, we can help with those, too. However, in our experience, the more you develop a regular activity and interaction where you and your dog DO stuff together, the less your going to need our help getting them to stop misbehaving. It’s all tied together. We are available for private instruction (in house in the greater Seattle area, available online or over the phone, too) if you have really pressing problems. But our advice is usually to start setting up a structure through proactively training seemingly silly tricks, learn how dogs think and learn, and you’ll probably be able to answer your own questions. The sooner we can get that “stuff” sorted out, the sooner we can get to the most important task—enjoying dog training.
So, grab your clicker, a handful of treats, tie your dog’s favorite toy to a rope, and let’s get to it!
