Welcome to Dog Builders!
Educating the public about dog behavior and the care and training of their canine partner is our mission. The trainers at Dog Builders utilize a ‘Balanced Training’ approach to working with clients and their dogs. We evaluate the needs of the owner and the dog before a training program and equipment is customized to build or rehabilitate your companion. We utilize many different training techniques and positive reinforcement is always a part of our training programs.
