Our trainer, Jean Gauchat-Hargis is here at Woodland Veterinary Hospital full time to offer assistance with any behavior problems you may have with your dog. We also have two training assistants Sara Brooks and Beth Wilts to help you achieve your goals!

All classes are taught using positive reinforcement techniques, making it an enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. This method of training strengthens the relationship of dog and handler based on trust not fear.

Training is a fun, rewarding experience that will strengthen the bond you and your dog share. 

Jean offers both group classes in our training room and arena or in the comfort of your home! 

Whether you are looking for a well-behaved companion or an event competitor, Jean's method of positive reinforcement will help you achieve your goal.
 

Our training classes start for puppies as young as 8 weeks old.
