Ideal DOG LLC is a dog training business that offers a wide variety of services designed to help dog owners train their dogs in a supportive and positive environment. They provide both group classes and private training sessions, with options available at their two training center locations in Oshkosh, WI, or through in-home services.

Their services are mindfully designed by Professional Dog Trainer Lynsie Bernier, focusing on teaching optimal ways of working with dogs, making learning fun, ensuring a safe and positive experience for every dog, and using repetition to proof skills for high reliability.

How to Get Started!

To register for group classes, clients can click on the desired class, complete the form, and make payment online to reserve a spot. For private training, clients can contact them directly to discuss options or book online. For behavior concerns, a Behavior Evaluation Consultation is required before scheduling private behavior modification sessions. Clients can purchase class packages online and then book appointments through their Vagaro account. They encourage discussing behavior concerns with a veterinarian first to rule out medical causes.
