The institute focuses on teaching both dogs and their owners how to communicate effectively and solve behavioral challenges. Trainers utilize positive reinforcement methods in a loving environment.

Many praise the institute for helping their dogs overcome reactivity and building a stronger bond between dog and owner. The training environment is highly regarded for being clear, caring, and effective. Owners have praised the instruction for helping their dogs, including a 14-year-old dog known for being well-behaved and full of tricks. Visitors find that their puppies flourish through the training, gaining a strong foundation for future classes. Tina, one of the trainers, is especially appreciated for being caring, understanding, and passionate about helping dogs and owners alike.
Their trainer, Liz, has provided so much useful information and gentle training techniques for our one year-old rescue dog. She is remarkable in her kind training techniques and we are finding we can curtail some rambunctious puppy behavior utilizing the things that she taught us on how to deal with our dog. We feel so very lucky to have found her and enjoy working with her so much Jeanmarie and Barry Curtis.
Whole Dog institute is a wonderful resource and graciously consulted with me on a rescue foster. It was so helpful to have their expert advice and opinion to enable me to make the best match for my dog. I truly appreciate their time and thoughtfulness.
Highly positive learning environment for owner and dog, with clear information and excellent instruction. We attended multiple training classes, and were very happy with the process and results from all of the classes. Our dog of 14 years was remarked upon by friends and neighbors as being the best behaved and knowing the most tricks of any dog they’d ever seen. We will train all of our dogs here.
