Positive
Dog Training
As a trainer, I focus on providing dog parents with the communication and training skills they will need to work with their dog through the various stages of their lives. With a focus on fun and enjoyable training sessions, you and your dog will build a special relationship that focuses on promoting the behaviors you want to see, and redirecting those you don't.
TRAINING + CARE
for dogs in Tampa and beyond
At the Brainy Bark, we use only positive, scientifically driven training methods. We have studied how dogs learn and our training uses reinforcement to provide effective, fun training for you and your dog. Dogs trained in this way have less long term fear and anxiety resulting in a well tempered family dog for your home.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
in our dog training program
We teach in blocks of six sessions for puppies and older dogs alike. We focus on basic manners in the home which we can then start to apply outdoors as your dog becomes more skilled at controlling their behaviors. Science driven training methods focused on building your bond inform all of our sessions. We offer private 1:1 training in your home or online, online workshops, online group classes and we can even design a specialty training program unique to you and your furry friend. Just ask.
