Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Equipment:
- ✓ Obstacle Courses
Canine Einstein offers a variety of training programs and services. Group classes are designed for urban dogs, covering basic and intermediate manners, patio skills, tricks for confidence, and urban dog skills. The “You Have a Friend- Reactive Dog Program” combines games and training to help dogs tolerate other dogs and people, with graduates invited to monthly group hikes.
Private Gym Rentals provide an enrichment-focused space for dogs who prefer not to socialize or are shy, offering confidence-building and off-leash exploration. The Puppy Program focuses on proper socialization and training for well-adjusted pups, combining classes, private training, and puppy playgroups.
The “Train and Play” program is for dogs needing more than a walk but who are overstimulated by traditional daycare, offering training and enrichment in small groups. Personalized Training involves certified trainers working with guardians to develop management and training plans for communication issues. Supervised Playgroups are small, trainer-supervised sessions for dogs of similar ages, ideal for social dogs who get overstimulated easily.

Testimonials
“The team is amazing! Our Baker can be a handful… he’s lovable, spirited, energetic, and can be a little sassy sometimes! We have found the perfect people to care for him. Baker LOVES his weekly Urban Adventures with Gracie… she takes him to very exciting places where he can roam and sniff, just like beagles need to. The team has also stayed with him during the day when we have been out of town. From playing enrichment games with him to teaching us about caring for a pet with anxiety, they have helped us in many ways! Baker loves them and they love him as much as we do. Thank you for being amazing! :)”

“I cannot thank the team enough for training my dog! I got my dog Walter around 9 months of age and he had no previous leash training. I spent months try to train him to stop pulling, went to classes, and nothing was working. Finally I contacted Milwaukee Paws and I wish I would have right away! Within ONE walk, I was walking a different dog. After each training walk, I would get a summary of what they worked on, along with videos and pictures- Walter always looked so happy! Now I can take Walt on a walk without stress and if he ever needs a little “tune-up” I know who to contact! Thank you so much- you’re the BEST!”

“So much fun! A great safe & enclosed place for dogs to release their energy! The Private gym rental is perfect for my older dogs that dont feel like being around other dogs that may play rougher. Canine einstein also provides fun and creative treat puzzles too. Love this place and will definitely be coming back for more play sessions!”
