​​If you're ready to get down to the root cause of your dog’s behaviors and find a sustainable balance in the teamwork between you and your dog - you have found the right place! Here at Blitz Dog Training, we empathize with all the daily frustrations: the rabbit holes Google sends us down, the money and time you may have already thrown at the issue for little (or worse) results, the unsolicited advice from both loved ones and strangers, and the perpetuated myths regarding dogs that make it hard to know what to believe works. Blitz Dog Training is here to be your final answer. Maybe we spend an hour together or maybe a few months - all depending on your individual dog, goals, and lifestyle - but our intention through training is harmony and ease between all members of your human-dog team for the rest of your time together. I want to see you and your dog as briefly as possible in the business-sense, then out and about together - on trails, in parks, or even settling down at a brewery - thriving and continuing to grow that bond!  

​

Blitz (noun): a sudden, energetic, and concerted effort, typically on a specific task.

​

Our philosophy: We are in the business of building confidence. Aversive tools or other “quick fixes” may seem to work to stop some unwanted behaviors but we have seen firsthand the repercussions from using these. We believe in true, long-term dog training: applied learning theory and behavior modification (as opposed to the suppression of emotions). By using ethical, science-based, Force-Free methods and getting down to the root cause of the issue(s) we can truly make both your and your dog’s lives easier. Together we'll make it as fun as possible for both sides of your human-dog team and in turn, you'll receive a bond beyond what you ever thought was possible.
