Meet Lark & Hazel
These gorgeous girls came to us after going through another local trainer’s program. This trainer has been known to use aversive training methods, including putting shock collars on puppies! His methods made Lark & Hazel reactive to other people and dogs, and they barked whenever strange people or dogs came anywhere near them. What’s worse, they chased every squirrel they saw, and would bark up the tree at it after it escaped!
Using our Focus-Based Training methods, we’ve been able to get them over their fear of other dogs, and eliminated their separation anxiety. They now leave squirrels alone, and their parents can take them biking on the trails without a shock collar!

Introducing the Dogology Teaching Method
At Dogology University, we employ our distinctive 3-Point Teaching Method to guarantee effective canine and human learning, and lasting behavioral change for both the dog and their parents.
We focus on teaching the dogs, educating the parents, and providing ongoing support and aftercare beyond the initial training program, ensuring comprehensive support throughout your entire journey with us.
Teaching the Dog
At the heart of our methodology lies focus-based dog training. We adhere to a comprehensive approach encompassing clear communication with the dog and the human, ensuring that both parties understand what is being asked of them, and refining the behavior by testing it in different environments (ie proofing for perfection).
Our trainers specialize in capturing and maintaining your dog’s attention, fostering an environment where learning is not only effective but also enjoyable. This focus-driven training system establishes a profound connection between the dog and the family, resulting in more responsive and enthusiastic learning experiences.
Educating the Family
Our main focus is (and always has been) helping families understand how to reinforce the skills that their dogs learn with our trainers in real-world environments. We are one hundred percent committed to making you a part of your dog’s training, which is why we hold weekly lessons with you and your dog.
When we first meet, we talk together about what the family wants their dog to learn, and tailor our training program around their goals. Whether you’re teaching your new puppy to sit or perfecting your older dog’s off-leash recall, we’ve got you covered.
Every week, we share videos of your dog’s training, so everyone can see how it’s going. In our weekly meetings, we teach you all about our training methods, show them what your dog has learned, and practice together to make sure everyone understands. This way, your whole family can have fun and succeed in learning with your dog!
Ongoing Support
After you and your dog complete your initial training sessions, we offer support through weekly group classes and online courses to help you and your dog continue learning and doing well.
In our experience, we’ve found that canine and human learning is always ongoing, and we’re committed to helping you and your dog thrive in your new-found partnership together.
If you’re busy and you’d like even more support, we offer daycare services where our trainers can take your pup for the day to brush up on their skills. We’re here to make sure you and your whole family succeed!
