Summit Dog Training LLC

You cannot go wrong by selecting Summit Dog Training! We've used Sarah and Angela and it's amazing how much we've learned with them. Training tricks was easy, but Summit has been instrumental in helping us communicate with our dog to help her in helping herself or recognizing when we need to help her. Our focus right now is behavioral issues and this is where Summit has shined for us. You won't see negative reinforcement like e-collars or anything disgusting like that. They get to know you and your dogs' relationship and teach communication and implement research-based strategies for addressing their needs using positive reinforcement. What you actually do depends on the needs of your pet so it's hard to summarize. But, you work with an expert who observes you and your pet, and helps you find effective strategies to meet your goals while also creating a fun training environment. Not only this, but you can correspond with your trainer to: ask questions, analyze videos, etc. They make a huge effort to not only understand and explain your dogs' comfort, but they are happy to explain forward-looking aspects of the sessions (i.e. the "what" and "why" of each sessions focus). Finding a trainer was unnecessarily difficult and we're so thankful we found Summit because they have been an invaluable resource. We look forward to each session because we learn so much about our strategies and how we can be more effective in meeting goals. Summit trainers are encouraging, patient, personable, and they pick up on things you don't notice. If you trust their expertise, you'll be amazed by what you learn.

I cant say enough good things about Summit Dog training! I adopted Penny when she was 5 months old. Summit has helped me gain the confidence and skills to help Penny explore the world, we have taken two training classes with Sarah (reactive dog 101, smells like teen spirit) and I can see the difference in Penny and myself. Sarah has been supportive and so informative on training games and strategies. Summit also has great opportunities to practice the skills Ive learned in training treks and play groups. Not to mention a monthly get together for dog owners to share stories of their pups and get reassurance that we arent alone! Thank you Summit for all you do!

I have had 2 private lessons with Dani and she is great. Lots of time spent explaining why and how and not just what.
