At Big Dog University, we believe that any dog can be helped through proper training of the dog and owner.

​

The majority of issues that dog owners deal with are based on misunderstandings: dogs don't speak human! This is combined with a lack of mental and physical fulfillment.

​

BDU is going to help you clear up those misunderstandings while teaching you to provide that necessary stimulation your dog needs to be a happy and balanced member of the pack.

​

No problem is too big to accomplish or too small to address.

PRIVATE TRAINING

Private dog training is one-on-one instruction to address specific behavior issues or training goals for your dog.
