Let’s unleash your dog’s best behavior!
What do you and your dog need help triumphing over?

Aggression Towards Dogs

When your dog growls, lunges, or bites other dogs, it can be both distressing and overwhelming. We specialize in addressing dog aggression toward other dogs through a compassionate and thorough approach. During a Behavior Guidance Call, we’ll thoroughly review your case by doing a deep dive into behavioral and medical history, videos and photos of your dog’s daily life, and more. Then we’ll provide a clear, customized plan that restores peace, builds confidence, and encourages safe, positive interactions.

Reactive Dogs (Barking, Lunging, & Pulling On Leash)

Does your dog bark, lunge, or growl at people or other dogs while on leash, even though they’re otherwise well-behaved? Leash reactivity is a common challenge and often stems from frustration, overstimulation, or even fear. With effective behavior modification techniques, we’ll help transform walks into a positive experience for both you and your dog. Let’s work together to help your reactive dog live their best life!

Aggression Towards People

When your dog shows aggression towards people, it can be alarming and leave you questioning what to do next. Should you discipline your dog? Should you dismiss it as a one-time event? Our approach is thorough and investigative, considering all possible factors contributing to your dog’s behavior, including physical discomfort, learning history, and environmental triggers. We then create a personalized plan to help your dog feel safer, more confident, and less reactive.

Virtual Dog Training Group Classes

We offer a variety of virtual group classes designed to meet your dog’s unique needs from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re aiming for trick dog titles, improving your dog’s fitness through AKC Fit Dog, or addressing reactivity and manners with focused training, our expert-led classes provide practical tools and personalized guidance. You can help your dog thrive in a supportive and convenient online environment.

Fearful & Nervous Dogs

Watching your dog struggle with fear or sound sensitivities, like thunderstorms, can be heartbreaking. We help dogs overcome fears that disrupt their quality of life. From common fears like vacuums, thunder, and being home alone, to unusual triggers such as plastic bags, Halloween decorations, or new environments, we’ve seen it all. Using a compassionate and personalized approach, we address the root causes of your dog’s fears and implement tailored behavior modification techniques.

Effective & Positive Training Methods

At Faithfully Yours Dog Training, we teach dogs and their people how to communicate without the use of pain or discomfort by following the standards set by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. We do not use prong, choke, or shock collars/e-collars in any of our programs. We foster behavior change by reinforcing desirable behaviors using positive reinforcement.

Recent research has shown that positive reinforcement training with a professional achieves better results than e-collar training, without the added welfare risks.

With over a decade of experience, our certified dog trainer and behavior consultant has trained many species from marine mammals, birds, tortoises, horses, cats, rodents, and more. If positive reinforcement-based training works for even non-domesticated animals, it will help you train your dog. Yes, even if they’re “stubborn”, aggressive, fearful, or reactive.
