Training
Welcome to Adventure Pups Training!
​
Our two trainers, Angie and Tessa, are excited to work with you and your pup.
​
Training is a great way to strengthen the bond with you and your pup by working with a trainer to brush up on manners, tackle leash reactivity, or to continue on your dog's training journey. When you hire one of our certified dog trainers, we will work with you to create an individualized plan of action and be there every step of the way.
We are certified positive reinforcement trainers who use science-based practices to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. When you hire one of our certified dog trainers, we will work with you to create an individualized plan of action and be there every step of the way.
​
APC shares the values of the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers. Our trainers use science-backed positive reinforcement methods. The work they do to provide and connect trainers with the most up-to-date research is why we choose to seek certification through their organization. Check out Our Trainers for their current training credentials.
​
When you contact us, we will set up an initial consultation. There, we'll discuss your and your pups’ needs and training goals. If at any time we feel you need help we are unable to provide, we will personally work with you to find a professional better suited to your pup's needs.
