Boarding provides a home-like environment with structured training during stay. Phone consultations are one-hour sessions for minor issues or first-time owners. All programs focus on teaching owners to communicate effectively and maintain behavior long-term.

GT Dog Training is a dog training business led by Greg Twedell that provides in-home training services designed to help dog owners build lasting behavioral skills with their pets. The business focuses on teaching owners how to train their dogs effectively, emphasizing confidence, communication, and consistency in daily interactions. Services include Puppy Pre-Training, Obedience Training, Socialization Training, Boarding, Board & Train, and Phone Consultations. Training is personalized to each dog’s needs and lifestyle, with sessions scheduled weekly over 8 weeks for most programs. Greg visits clients’ homes for training, ensuring real-life application of skills. Boarding and Board & Train services are available for dogs that need intensive training or care while owners are away. All boarding services require dogs to be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. The business also offers a one-hour phone consultation for minor behavioral issues or first-time pet owners. GT Dog Training prioritizes positive, structured methods and provides ongoing support to ensure long-term success.

The training approach combines foundational obedience with behavior modification for issues like barking, jumping, leash pulling, separation anxiety, and aggression. Socialization is done one-on-one first with a trained dog named Kenji before progressing to group settings. Clients receive practical tools, including guidance on equipment like leashes, harnesses, and treats, and are taught how to manage emergencies and basic first aid. The business does not offer grooming, walking, or rehoming services, and does not board cats.

Greg is described by clients as patient, professional, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to both dogs and their owners. He adapts training to individual needs, including working with owners who have disabilities, and provides video/photo updates during boarding programs. The business operates with a strong emphasis on transparency, flexibility, and client education.
