Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Woofred’s Dog Training offers comprehensive programs tailored to various needs. Puppy programs, such as “Premium Puppy Beginnings” and “Pawsitive Beginnings,” focus on essential skills and socialization for young dogs, including in-person and virtual sessions, and socialization outings.
Board & Train programs, ranging from 2 to 6 weeks, cover a wide array of skills from basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall, leash manners, door/threshold training) to advanced techniques like off-leash training, heel command, impulse control, and distance commands. These programs include post-training support with phone consultations and in-person sessions, and advanced options incorporate public training in dog-friendly stores and parks.
Private training sessions are available as single sessions or packages of 6 or 8 classes, providing personalized attention for specific behaviors, skills, or challenges. Virtual training sessions offer convenient remote guidance. Group workshops are occasionally held for basic commands and socialization. Additionally, “A la Carte” training is available for existing clients, and consultations help new clients determine the best training plan.

Testimonials
“We cannot say enough good things about Woofred’s Dog Training. Woofred has become a part of our family since we began working with him almost two years ago for training with our high-energy Rottweiler as a puppy. We’ve done in home training, group training, and boarding with Woofred and every experience has been a joy. What we most appreciate about Woofred is his true concern. He’s taken my frustrated “I just don’t know what to do” calls. He checks in to see how things are going; and has helped us to enjoy ongoing independent training that’s needed. We’ve learned that dog training is a lifetime journey that is a big part of the relationship between pet and their person. Woofred works with us as a family helping each one of us to see the role we play. While guiding us through commands for our pup, he’s helped us build the confidence to handle our now 90+ pound fur baby. We understand her cues and can better position her to make good doggie decisions. We’ve gotten better at correcting bad behaviors and understanding why they happened in the first place. One of the things I’m happiest about is how our Rottie responds to things like our voice tone and nonverbals. It shows us that the time we’ve put in has helped form a bond of trust. Thank you Woofred for helping us to realize our potential as pet parents! Hopefully this isn’t too long! ”

“Their behavior….has been excellent!!!”

“I have been a longtime client and I can say honestly and truthfully that I 100% recommend Woofred’s Dog Training. Will started with my pup Maci Lou and I years ago. When I first called, I told him all my concerns and my goal. He listened completely and made me feel comfortable that I made the right choice before we even met. First session we had I was beyond nervous because Maci had a more aggressive type of approach to strangers even though I know she is the sweetest pup. Will came over and immediately corrected her improper greeting in the most professional, safe, and proper way. I can say that one correction was all she needed and she never acted that way again. After our first 7 sessions, I had a completely well behaved pup who I finally understood how to communicate with correctly. I come from a vet med background and can be open that I did not know as much about animal behavior as I thought. Fast forward, Maci Lou is now 5 years old. She not only is an amazing other half to me but also helps train vet med staff and donates blood to sick pups. All of this and more is owed to Will and Israel at Woofred’s Dog Training!”
