Dog Training Methodology
Mannered Mutts Training offers several programs. Behavioral consultations are available to discuss goals, evaluate behavior, and provide initial guidance. A “Consult + Initial Lesson” combines a consultation with a first training session.
Board & Train programs involve the dog staying overnight in large cabins, receiving multiple personalized training sessions daily. Each week of Board & Train includes a private lesson for the owner. Day Training allows dogs to be dropped off for weekday training sessions, with a private lesson included per week for the owner.
Private Lessons are one-on-one sessions with the owner and dog, available in-facility, in-home, at a park, or in a public place. Group Classes are offered exclusively to current or past clients, including Mannered Mutts Rescue Alumni.

Testimonials
“Cannot say enough good things about Mannered Mutts Training!!! In just 4 weeks they took an excitable bully breed rescue with no manners and turned him in to a gentleman and a good listener! Button would literally leap out of the door every morning so excited to get to school. The trainers are knowledgeable and so helpful, if you’re in the Bloomington area and need training services for your pup these guys are a 10/10 on all accounts.”
– Lauren M. & Button
“Highly recommend Mannered Mutts for dog training! My dog is deaf and tends to have issues with strangers and other dogs. She is now making much better choices in all situations and is much more obedient overall thanks to the Mannered Mutts team!”

“Mannered Mutts gave me my life back! My impossibly stubborn and difficult dog is now manageable and fun to live with, and I learned as much as he did. The staff are skilled and professional, and the results exceeded my expectations. If you’re on the fence about training with Mannered Mutts go for it. It is absolutely worth it.”
