Our Approach to Dog Training

You Lucky Doggy certified trainers provide private in-home training, customized to fit your dog’s needs. 

We believe training your dog, one on one, in their own home where they are the most comfortable, is best for your dog and a great way for the whole family to participate in their training, as consistency is key. 

Our training method is positive reinforcement science based training. With positive reinforcement training we use treats, toys, and praise. We don't use choke chains or shock collars as this can be extremely stressful for your dog and even create behavioral issues.  We truly believe no dog is a bad dog and that they are just misunderstood. 

Contact us today so we can help you unleash your dog's full potential.

We can help you with...

  • Adolescent behaviors
  • Begging
  • Chasing (squirrels, cars, runners, bicycles, etc.)
  • Crate training
  • Digging
  • Disobedience
  • Excessive barking whining, crying
  • House training, potty training & housebreaking
  • Inappropriate chewing
  • Jumping on people, countertops, furniture, etc.
  • Littermate syndrome
  • Loose leash walking
  • Not coming when called (recall)
  • Poop eating (coprophagia)
  • Puppy biting, nipping & mouthing
  • Submissive or excited peeing 


At this time we do not address aggression towards humans (including dogs with bite histories), or service dog training.
