We are Motivated Canine LLC, a husband-and-wife dog training team based in Northern Delaware, dedicated to helping dog owners build strong, harmonious relationships with their pets through personalized, motivation-based training. We focus on understanding each dog’s unique personality and what drives them—whether it’s play, food, or praise—to create customized training plans that work. Our methods emphasize positive reinforcement, play, and relationship-building, avoiding force or fear. We specialize in everything from basic obedience and puppy training to severe behavioral issues like leash reactivity, resource guarding, and aggression. We are the only Training Without Conflict® Certified Dog Trainers in Delaware, and we offer both private lessons and board-and-train programs to suit different needs.

We believe every dog can become a well-behaved family member when trained with patience, consistency, and joy. Our trainers work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, adapting techniques to suit individual sensitivities and quirks. We also provide in-home and outdoor training sessions, even in challenging weather, showing our dedication to client success. Our clients often see dramatic improvements, including reduced anxiety and the ability to discontinue medication, thanks to our tailored approach.
