Pawz For Health Dog Training Maryland provides certified dog and puppy training services, emphasizing a positive reinforcement approach. They offer customized programs designed to meet specific behavior modification and training goals for each individual dog and puppy. Their aim is to help owners maintain a long-lasting positive relationship with their pets.

A core principle of their training is to operate without pain, explicitly stating they do not support the use of shock collars, prong collars, or choke chains. They prioritize rewards-based training, which is backed by scientific research, to ensure dogs learn quickly and consistently without fear or intimidation.

The business focuses on teaching dog owners how to effectively communicate with their pets, enabling continued training throughout the dog’s lifetime. They work with all breeds and address a wide range of behavior challenges. Training is considered a family affair, with all family members, including young children, encouraged to participate.

Accomplishments

The trainers are certified professional puppy and dog trainers with over 20 years of experience. They hold certifications as Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC). The business has received an award issued by Happydog.

How to Get Started!

To begin, clients submit a Contact Form or Email Inquiry. A certified dog trainer will respond via email within 8 hours. The process includes an in-home consultation where the trainer meets the family and dog/puppy to assess the living environment and discuss behavior challenges and training goals. Once the client decides to proceed, the certified dog trainer will conduct 1-hour sessions at the client’s home once a week for the agreed number of weeks. After the program is complete, the trainer provides follow-up contact and ongoing email or phone support for up to 90 days for troubleshooting and fine-tuning.
