Testimonials
“We worked with Martin at Argos over 6 private training sessions and the difference was night and day. Martin was amazing with our sassy dog and immediately earned his trust and helped us understand why he does the things that he does.”
-Luke R
“I cannot say enough good things about Argos Training, Martin and Heather. They tailored a training program for my best buddy, Dexter, that far exceeded my expectations.”
-Bill Briggs
“Kaia is a 5-year-old half frenchie/half Boston terrier… After her time with Martin, she has the tools to calm herself down and stay calm. And we have the tools to assist her.”

They provide private lessons, group classes, board-and-train programs, and day training, with personalized plans tailored to each dog’s needs. Martin and his team emphasize clear communication, positive methods, and ongoing support, including video updates during board-and-train programs and access to online resources.

Argos Dog Training specializes in transforming problem behaviors like leash pulling, jumping, barking, separation anxiety, and reactivity into calm, well-mannered companions. Their clients report dramatic improvements after just one week of board-and-train, with lasting results supported by continuous guidance. They pride themselves on being kind, patient, and deeply invested in the long-term relationship between dogs and their guardians.
