What You Get 

At AJ Dog Training & Boarding, I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from young puppies to seniors, with care tailored to each dog’s individual needs, temperament, and energy level. As an experienced professional dog trainer specializing in behavioral modification, I bring more than just boarding experience to the table. I understand canine behavior, body language, structure, and the importance of creating a safe, well-managed environment for every dog in my care. My experience working with reactive, aggressive, and behaviorally challenging dogs allows me to approach each dog with the knowledge and understanding they deserve. Many of my clients continue using my boarding services long after completing their training programs because the relationship we build goes beyond training; it’s built on trust, communication, and confidence in the care their dogs receive. I also offer training during boarding when appropriate, giving owners the opportunity to maintain existing skills or continue working toward their goals. Whether your dog is joining me for a short stay, ongoing boarding, or additional training, you can feel confident knowing they’re in the hands of someone who understands dogs beyond basic care.

​At AJ Dog Training, my Board-and-Train program is designed to deliver hands-on training, real-world experience, and meaningful progress tailored to your dog’s individual needs. With an at-home training facility, I provide a structured environment where dogs receive consistent training, supervision, and security while developing the skills needed to succeed in everyday life. Training doesn’t stop at home or inside a facility. I take dogs into public environments to work through distractions, build impulse control, improve engagement, strengthen obedience, and help them navigate the real world with more confidence and control. Whether your dog struggles with reactivity, aggression, poor impulse control, or general obedience, I develop a training plan based on their behavior, temperament, and goals. As an experienced dog trainer specializing in behavioral modification, I understand that every dog is different, and meaningful progress requires more than teaching commands; it requires clear communication, consistency, proper management, and a foundation that owners can maintain after their dog comes home. My goal is not simply to train your dog while they are with me, but to equip you with the knowledge and skills to continue that progress long after the program ends. Your dog’s behavior affects your everyday life, and you don’t have to keep struggling with the same problems. Let’s build a better relationship, establish clearer communication, and create a safer, more manageable lifestyle for you and your companion. Contact AJ Dog Training today to discuss your goals, find the right Board-and-Train package, and secure your dog’s spot. Give your dog the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed—with the right training and guidance behind them.

​​At AJ Dog Training, my Puppy Development program is designed to give your puppy the foundation they need to grow into a confident, well-mannered, and well-adjusted adult dog. Starting early makes a difference because puppies are constantly learning, and building good habits from the beginning can help prevent unwanted behaviors from becoming long-term struggles. Through structured, age-appropriate training, we focus on potty training, crate training, leash manners, house manners, basic obedience, confidence building, and proper socialization. Puppies learn how to navigate new environments, experiences, people, and other dogs in a safe, controlled, and positive way, while developing the ability to settle, manage excitement, and respond to guidance. I also emphasize teaching independence, boundaries, and impulse control early so your puppy can learn how to be successful both inside and outside the home. My goal is not just to teach your puppy commands, but to help you establish the structure, communication, and consistency needed for a successful lifelong relationship. Don't wait until unwanted habits become harder to change—invest in your puppy's future while they're still learning the world around them. Whether you're bringing home your first puppy or adding another dog to your family, contact AJ Dog Training today to discuss our Puppy Development program, find the right training option, and secure your puppy's spot. The foundation you build today can make all the difference tomorrow!

​Private lessons at AJ Dog Training are designed to put the owner in the driver’s seat. Instead of simply having someone else train your dog, you get to be hands-on throughout the process, learning exactly what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and how to continue that training at home. This is especially valuable for owners who want to truly understand their dog—not just get . You’ll learn how to recognize and read your dog’s body language, understand what your dog is communicating, identify triggers, improve timing, and make better decisions in real-life situations. For owners working with reactive or aggressive dogs, participation can also build confidence and help take the fear and uncertainty out of handling their dog. You’ll learn how to stay calm, how to respond when your dog reacts, and how to safely work through challenging situations instead of avoiding them. The goal is to create confidence on both ends of the leash—giving your dog the skills to make better choices and giving you the knowledge and ability to guide them. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding your dog, book a private lesson with AJ Dog Training and become an active part of your dog’s training journey.
