Fall back to school for your dog should be fun and educational for you and your dog…

Dog training should be 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.

No, we won’t be teaching your dogs to be a French chef. 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.

Three Dogs Training next set of classes begin Saturday September 12, 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!

Good Dog Play

Good Dog Play videos

Good dog play can be a lovely thing. It can also be confusing, misinterpreted, and at worst shift rapidly to serious predation, defense, or offensive.

How do you know which is which?

Sometimes you can easily see it is all good, like here the Great Dane and the Frenchie were in basic class together. They are mismatched by size but perfectly matched in their play style.

When you are not sure, you need to read your dog’s signals.

In this video puppy Poppy is desperate to play with the older dog. The older dog is giving great signals to Poppy indicating that she is not interested in puppy play. Poppy adjusted her play to mirror the older dog. Yay Poppy!

If your gut tells you there is something wrong – listen to it. You will call dogs out of play and give them huge rewards so their association with the play is always good!!

If things were indeed getting too intense, you have saved the day so your dog can happily play another day without a negative association. And if you were overly cautious, you can always send them back in if you were wrong.
