Each year I devour the annual pet dog food (both wet and dry) issues (Reason #1 and pun #1). These analyses allow me to choose the best food based on the specific ingredients and my dog’s needs—not the food that advertises the most.
This leads me to reason #2—No Advertising. Because The Whole Dog Journal does not allow advertisements, all their product articles from food to equipment are well researched and without pressure from advertisers!
Which leads me to reason #3—their staff of writers are credentialed and passionate about their work. They contribute to the research and they have the backgrounds that offer them the knowledge to comment appropriately on topics of health, training, behavior, and more.
Three Dogs Training encourages you to take a look at The Whole Dog Journal if you have not done so already! Maybe even as a gift to you and your pup(s)!
There’s still time to train your dog before the summer activities, vacations, and general fun takes over your calendar.
Remember that training should be fun and educational…
Wheeeeeee…
No, we won’t be teaching your dogs to lounge on a pool floaty. But we will train your dogs to follow your directions, be more confident, and be a happy member of your family. A happy dog is a happy human.
Dog training should be fun, fear free, force free and evidence based.
We are always more successful when we enjoy our learning. The same is true for our dogs. We guide them, reward them, and set them up for success.
Three Dogs Training next set of classes begin Saturday May 16, 2026. See times listed below.
We all learn by doing.
We all learn by doing. And yes, sometimes we learn from our mistakes but that can sometimes teach us to not try. Success keeps us going.
When we learn through success and rewards, we are happy and brave as we keep going!

While it is still winter, it’s time to get ready to train your dog for spring and summer fun.
Remember that training should be…
Fun for All and All for Fun!
No, I can’t train your dogs to be AI musketeers. But we can train your dogs to follow directions, be more confident, and enjoy enrichment in their lives. A happy dog is a happy human.
When dog training is science based it is fun, fear free, and force free.
We are always more successful when we guide our dogs and manage them as they are learning. This sets them up for success.

I offer both Remote or In-person behavior consultations.
For either remote or in-person sessions:
You will fill out a behavioral questionnaire prior to any scheduled appointment.
In our dog behavior consultation we work together to change your dog’s behavior for the better. We employ data driven force-free behavior modification protocols. And our processes will scaffold exercises that support the long-term welfare of your dog and the dog-human relationship.
You can find more details on current research and protocols for behavior modification on the following websites.
Both Remote and In-person Sessions offer great instruction and sometimes one is more effective than the other.
There are times when a remote session is a necessary alternative to an in-person meeting. If your dog has stranger phobias/aggression, resource guarding, or other issues that could make an initial in-person session very stressful for them, we would begin remotely. This jump starts training by allowing me to get more details, view videos, and set up protocols without stressing your dog. We then have a strategy before we continue in-person.
I will also need some video which usually shows me what I might not be able to see in person because your dog is in their natural setting without a stranger looming.
If a situation is dangerous, I don’t need unsafe video. I just need to see your dog in action vis-a-vis family, other dogs, and etc. – safely.
Here is a video that demonstrates how sometimes when we observe in real time, we miss a lot of signals that can help us help our dogs.
In-person sessions allow me to physically interact and demonstrate with your dog and if necessary work with you and your dog in an environment specific to your dog’s issues.
Regardless of remote or in-person sessions, I send notes to help you follow the stratagies we go over in our session. And our ultimate goal is to make your life with your dog happier and safer.
