The People’s Pup is a trainer-led, rewards-based organization that focuses on building your dog’s everyday life skills to open up their world. We specialize in transitioning dogs with behavioral issues into full-on adventure dogs who get to run, explore, and live their best lives. Our goal is to shape pets into ideal companions who can tag along on every outing you take. To start the process of achieving this relationship, check out our main services below.
