WELCOME TO GRATEFUL PUPS
Are you tired of jumping, nipping, lack of manners and counter surfing?
If left unchecked, some of these behaviors can actually get worse over time. Our training addresses these issues by holding your dog accountable for their manners in a gentle and effective way. This approach helps stop unwanted behaviors before they turn into bigger problems, giving you a calmer, better-behaved companion.

Do you get confused with all the information online regarding training?
There is so much information out there about how to train a dog and it can be overwhelming. In fact, we often get dogs who have been to other trainers. We are confident in our approach not only because we get results, we focus on training the owners. Our direct conversations about how we train, why we train the way we do, and the work that will be required afterwards set our clients up for success.
Does your dog only listen to you when you have treats?
We have all seen our dogs blow off treats when there is something more interesting around. Additionally, giving treats at the wrong time can accidentally reinforce fear or anxiety. Our training goes beyond treats, helping your dog stay focused and calm, no matter the situation.
