Professional Dog Training

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! When Professional Training is done correctly, it can help your dog building confidence, get mental stimulation, and help build a loving a trusting relationship that lasts a lifetime! 

• All of our training programs are REWARDS-BASED and learning goals are achieved by praising and rewarding the targeted behaviors. This methodology is proven to be effective and encouraged by many pet professionals and organizations.  The AVSAB (American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior) has a Humane Dog Training Position Statement that explains why positive reinforcement is the most effective tool to use for dog training.
• Barklandia does not condone the use of adverse stimuli such as shock collars, prong / pinch collars, scolding, or other actions that build compliance through fear. 

Barklandia offers a variety of training options to meet a wide variety of needs!  Some of our most popular options are:

• Day Training - Training takes place while the doggie attends daycare.
• Private Drop Off Training - Training is appointment based & takes place at the facility. 
• Private Training - Our Trainer comes to your location and works with both the client and the doggie. 

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 need help minding their manners.
• I want my doggie to come when I call his name.
• My dog constantly barks at other dogs, people, cars, the leaves, the wind..... :)

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!

Meet Dani, she comes to us with a wealth of experience in canine behavior and training, and we couldn’t be happier to have her join the Barklandia pack. With a passion for pups and a knack for turning “ruff” behavior into “pawsitive” results, Dani is here to help you and your dogs achieve your training goals.

She uses rewards-based training to deliver results. This method focuses on positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. Instead of punishing mistakes, we celebrate successes with treats, praise, and playtime. This approach not only strengthens your bond with your dog but also helps them learn faster and enjoy the process

Here’s a little more about Dani:

🐾 Passion: "Dogs hold the highest place in my heart. My dog growing up was my rock, and she inspired my work with animals. In my work as a trainer, I help to create a common language between dogs and their pup parents. Let's get through the struggles so we can get to the cuddles."

🐾 Expertise: Dani has years of experience working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. She started volunteering with animal rescues in 2015, working closely with dogs. From there, she began working professionally at an animal rescue in Southern California, which blossomed into an apprenticeship as a dog trainer. Since then, she has worked one-on-one with clients, and as a group facilitator in rehabilitation centers, sharing the healing magic of dogs with at-risk individuals. Whether you’re dealing with basic obedience or more advanced training, she’s got the skills and knowledge to make a difference.

🐾 Approach: She believes in a positive reinforcement approach, ensuring that each training session is fun, engaging, and effective for both you and your pup. Such training is beneficial to establish good behavior at home, as well as a good mental workout for high-energy dogs. Whatever your needs, her goal is to set your pup up for success!
