At Sidekicks Dog Training, we go beyond obedience. We unlock your dog's potential and strengthen your bond.

Why are we different?

• Real-world solutions: Whether it's leash pulling, jumping on guests, or anxiety, we tackle real-life problems with practical solutions.

• Balanced approach: We understand your dog's unique personality and tailor the training to meet their needs and yours.

• Relationship-based training: It's not just about commands and tool usage, it's about communication. We teach you how to understand and motivate your furry friend with positive reinforcement.

Dream of a relationship where communication is clear and your dog truly thrives.

At Sidekicks, we create custom training plans that fit your goals and lifestyle. From basic obedience to addressing specific challenges, we'll help you and your dog reach new heights.

Customizable Private Dog Training Packages

Our private lesson packages are designed to give you and your dog personalized attention and tailored solutions. We focus on building a strong, positive relationship between you and your canine companion, using Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) methods. Whether you're welcoming a new puppy, addressing common adult dog behaviors, or working through more complex reactivity challenges, our programs are customized to your specific needs. Lessons are conducted either in the comfort of your home or in public settings like parks, providing real-world training experiences.

• 5-Lesson Private Training Package: Perfect for getting started with basic obedience, tackling common puppy challenges, or addressing specific behavioral issues. This package provides focused attention to establish foundational skills and positive habits, helping you achieve noticeable progress.

• 7-Lesson Private Training Package: Our most comprehensive private option, ideal for dogs needing more extensive training, advanced obedience skills, or those working through reactivity. This package allows for deeper dives into complex behaviors, continued skill refinement in various environments, and building greater confidence and reliability.

Specialized Training Areas

Beyond our core private packages, we also offer expertise in:

• Basic to Advanced Obedience: From reliable recalls and polite leash walking to advanced off-leash control and proofing behaviors in distracting environments.

• Competition Obedience: For those looking to excel in competitive dog sports, we can help refine precision and build a strong partnership for the ring.

• Puppy Training: Get your new family member off to the best start with essential manners, socialization, and problem prevention.
