Obedient BLUE “School for Dogs” is a dog training and daycare business founded by Lyndsey Morgan, a certified dog trainer with over 15 years of experience. They offer private and group training programs, board-and-train options, and dog daycare services designed to improve obedience, behavior, and socialization for dogs of all ages and breeds. Their approach focuses on positive, fun, and fear-free training methods tailored to each dog’s unique learning style. Lyndsey emphasizes building strong communication between dogs and their owners, helping families manage issues like leash pulling, reactivity, jumping, separation anxiety, and biting. In addition to training, they provide dog daycare for exercise and socialization, and offer board-and-train programs for intensive behavior modification. Their facility in Upperco, MD serves clients across Maryland, DC, and Virginia, and they prioritize helping dogs stay in homes and out of shelters.

Lyndsey’s personal journey with dogs—including raising her beloved Blue, after whom the business is named—drives her compassionate, individualized training style. Clients consistently praise her patience, knowledge, and ability to transform challenging behaviors into well-mannered companionship.

They also offer a one-hour pre-training assessment to evaluate each dog’s needs and create a customized plan before enrolling in any program.

How to Get Started!

Client engagement begins with a one-hour pre-training assessment, available at the facility or in-home, costing $75 (refunded upon enrollment in Intermediate or Board and Train programs). During the assessment, behavior is evaluated, goals are discussed, training options are reviewed, and the recommended program is outlined. Clients may enroll and schedule sessions during this visit.
