We offer companion and family dog training for dogs of all ages using rewards based methods. Our programs are built on cooperation and trust so your dog will see the world through eyes of love not fear. UGDU emphasizes the relationship between you and your dog in the most efficient and least stressful environment-your home and neighborhood. We unleash your dog's potential-focusing on results that work in everyday life.

We are a professional, family-owned dog training company with over 40 years of experience that specializes in strengthening the bond between your dog and your family, with a strong emphasis on teaching your dog the highest level of obedience, despite even the toughest level of distractions. Our unique in-home dog training model is designed to teach owners how to train their dog alongside a professional dog trainer in their home environment as well as in small group settings. We strongly believe that the key to sustained obedience is to empower owners to be an integral part of the training experience. Once you begin the training process with us, you become a part of the DTE family. Contact us for a free in-home evaluation.

I focus on showing owners how to train their dogs using positive reinforcement, which stems from science-based learning methods. We use these methods to help teach your dog valuable skills like Sit, Come, Stay, and more, and to solve undesired behaviors like running out the door and pulling on leash. I offer private lessons where I either come to your home, or we can learn online. I also offer Day Training where I come to your house and train your dog's foundations for you and meet up with you throughout the training to show you what they've learned and how to continue their training.

The Woof in the Woods staff will help you, as pet owners, to assess your dog as an individual. Together we develop a plan to resolve the daily challenges you experience, whether it be nutritional or behavioral. Most importantly, we want you to be successful with your dog, however YOU define YOUR success. Who gets a dog to be embarrassed by their naughty behaviors when you take them out? Maybe you did not realize you got a dog with skin and coat issues or other health issues. That is not what the joy of dog ownership is about! We understand how time consuming and frustrating that can be when all you really want is to have a 4-legged buddy to do fun stuff with! We have been there with our own personal dogs and that is what led us into helping others with their dogs.
