Muttineer Dog Training

At Muttineer, we have a strong admiration for the human/canine relationship. Our clients seek the tools required to maintain a healthy household.

We believe in and practice humane and ethical training methods. This means we train using positive reinforcement (treats, toys, attention) to increase good behavior and negative punishment (too bads, and time outs) to decrease unwanted behavior.

We believe there are no bad dogs. Only ones with bad habits. Every dog deserves the chance to shine and please their owners. Let Muttineer restore sanity to your home by teaching your dog a different way to behave.
