OBEDIENCE TRAINING
Puppy S.T.A.R.
Puppies are adorable little balls of cuteness—and they can drive you downright crazy. I help you get yours under control and help it grow up into the dog of your dreams with a curriculum based on the AKC’s S.T.A.R. Puppy® Program. We’ll work on basic foundations like sit, down, name recognition, come, walking nicely on leash, look, take it and give it. We’ll also work on getting all the crazy energy under control, including the biting and chewing and jumping. Oh, and house training—don’t worry, we won’t forget that!
For dogs: Aged up to 6 months at the start of class
When: Tuesday, 2/8-3/8; 6:00pm-6:45pm; Saturday, 2/12-3/12; 10:45am-11:30am

Puppy 2/Adolescence
Raising teenagers is never easy—be they human or canine—but a little training can go a long way. We’ll focus on self-control through exercises around settling and relaxing next to you, sit-stays for saying hello and being petted, walking nicely on leash without pulling, and leave it. And we’ll teach your dog to pay attention to you by working on coming when called, look, and check-ins. In short, we’ll get you through your dog’s adolescence by building the training foundation for a well-behaved dog.

Tammy Davis is the best dog trainer in the Lakes Region! Her classes are amazingly fun, innovative, smart and non-judgemental. Tammy has the gift and patience for educating dog owners. She truly embodies positive reinforcement for both the dog and the trainer. I have taken lessons from a lot of “dog trainers” and honestly Tammy rates in my top 3 list! And did I mention she is the best dog trainer in the Lakes Region by a long shot! Don’t waste your time with the others!

Thank you Tammy Davis……Davis Dog Training has changed our fur family “fur-ever”! I was amazed at the immediate connection Tammy had with my dogs. With Tammy’s expertise and “dog intuition” she taught us how to handle all types of different behaviors that we were struggling with. She taught us to “think like a dog – and you will get results”. At times when I was ready to give in, she would say “I never give up on anyone, or anything!” Having her positivity and upbeat training behind us, we have had huge successes. After just a few sessions, both our standard poodle puppy, and our rescued 2 year old lab mix, both learned to SIT, STAY & COME, with just hand signals. With her unique ability to unlock our pups inner instincts, and their inherent desideratum to learn and please, we have moved onto agility training with Tammy. Agility training is something my dogs look forward to, and have so much fun at Tammy’s playground – I think WE have learned as much as our pups! With our bag of teaching tools and newly learned skills, we have become a happier family.

BRUSH UP PROMOTIONAL CLASSES
We know that scheduling for a 5 or 6 week class commitment can be challenging for you and your four-legged companion. We offer classes that are either once a month and/or three week sessions for you and your dog to brush up on specific skills.
If you want a more reliable Come, the class will focus only on Comes with organized fun activities for increasing your dog’s attention with distances and distractions to Come to you. If your dog is dragging you down the street, but does everything else pretty well, we offer a class only on Leash Walking. Some would love to have an organized play group session periodically which we offer once a month. Check out our Facebook page in the Events section for Promotional Classes!
Dodger and I are having so much fun in agility class at Davis Dog Training! Agility is a physical and a mental challenge for Dodger that he especially needs in the winter. Tammy is great with both the dogs and their humans, who also have a lot to learn. The facility is a good size, spotless, and very well set up. The class size – 3 or 4 dogs with handlers – and the 45 minute class length are perfect for allowing each team enough repetition without tiring out either dogs or handlers. We love every class!
— Deanna M. & Dodger
My two Shih Tzus and I have been working with Tammy for a little over a year. Initially, she came to my home for private training and now I bring them to her wonderful facility for agility training. My dogs love Tammy and can’t wait to get out of the car to work with her. She connects with them in a way that I have never seen! I no longer worry about them running out the door and not responding to me when I call them. Tammy makes training fun!
