Doggy Development

Doggy Development focuses on “Collaborative Canine Enrichment” to help dog owners and their dogs understand each other. Training is offered privately, either in-home or at a local park. Specific programs include “The Indoor Intellectual,” “The Walk & Talk,” “Puppy Socialization Spree,” and “Potty Training 101.”

For grooming, the service provides a quiet, cooperative experience for dogs that struggle in traditional salons. This involves grooming training sessions to build comfort with handling, desensitizing puppies, and gentle grooming for senior or nervous dogs. Plans are customized to each dog’s specific needs, with initial consultations to discuss struggles and create a plan.

Doggy Development is a dog training business led by Jinx, a local canine collaborator. Jinx specializes in helping dog guardians understand their sensitive pups and offers a collaborative approach to canine enrichment. Her expertise grew from personal experience with her own “Project Dog,” who had big feelings and expanded her knowledge of canine behavior.

The business is ideal for dogs who may not thrive in traditional group training classes or busy salon environments. Doggy Development provides private in-home training sessions and can also meet at your pup’s favorite park.

In addition to training, Doggy Development offers private 1-on-1 dog grooming, providing a quiet spa experience for dogs uncomfortable in standard salon settings. This includes cooperative grooming training sessions to help dogs become comfortable with handling, desensitizing puppies to grooming, gently grooming senior pets, and patiently working with nervous dogs. Each grooming plan is individually tailored. Other services include “The Indoor Intellectual,” “Doggy Boarding,” “The Walk & Talk,” “Puppy Socialization Spree,” “Potty Training 101,” and “Kitty Cat Care.”
