Professional Dog Training
Why is Dog Training Important?
Professional Dog Training is critically important to ensuring a healthy relationship between you and your doggie and helping your doggie live a fulfilling and rewarding life!
Barklandia offers a variety of training options to meet a wide variety of needs! We offer everything from
- Day Training Courses designed that cover everything from basic to advanced skill level learning
- Reactivity Training
- Private, One on One Training
All of our training programs are REWARDS-BASED & FEAR FREE! We believe the best way to build a loving bond between you and your doggie is by encouraging and rewarding the behaviors you want to see. We don't condone the use of adverse stimuli such as shock collars, prong / pinch collars, scolding, or other actions that build compliance through fear.
Whether you doggie is puppy new to this world and is just learning to explore, a wayward teen, or a shy soul that needs to build confidence in their world - we have the ability to help you pet learn the skills to live the BEST LIFE!
Some of the most common goals we hear from our clients are:
- I want my puppy to learn to socialize in a healthy manner
- My puppy gets so excited that he forgets his manners and jumps up on everyone
- I get stressed taking my doggie on walks because they want to bark, lunge, and pull when they see things they like
- I'd like to take my dog around town with me to the coffee shop, local pub, hardware store, but they can't sit still or mind their manners
- I want my doggie to come when I call his name
- My dog constantly barks at other dogs, people, cars, the leaves
We get many other requests as well and we ALWAYS love a good challenge! If you have something specific you want to work on, we can design a custom training program specific to you and your doggie!

Private Training
Private Training
Private Training
Our "In Home Private Training" program is our most expensive option, but it is also the most beneficial since the trainer has the ability to start "in home" and then progress to walks in the neighborhood or other areas so that the doggie can transfer the knowledge learned to the real world. For example, many clients start 'in home' and then progress to walks in the neighborhood or other areas.
There will also be a phone consultation prior to the first session so the client can share their concerns and goals directly with our trainer.
Cost Per Session:
- One hour = $100
- Four (4) Pack of hour-long sessions = $375
- Eight (8) Pack of hour-long sessions = $725
