Meadowbrooke has a training option for you and your dog, whether he's a new puppy or an active participant in obedience trial competition.

We like to think of it as dog sense – common sense with an intuition for the canine spirit. Our trainers speak 'dog language'. You'll see that when you take lessons with us. Training is not just for the dog, it’s something that both you and your dog learn together. Having a well-behaved dog is one of the most rewarding aspects of the human-canine relationship.

Training options

bullet Level I class (formerly called 'Puppy Class') gives you guidance during the most impressionable (and sometimes the most difficult) stage of a dog’s life. Also recommended for adult dogs, as an introduction to obedience. Basics of dog language, encouraging teamwork in a secure and comfortable learning experience. 3 weeks, an hour each week, $50.
bullet Level II class builds on the fundamental skills in Level I. We cover Sit, Heel, Stay, Down, Stand, Leave It, and Come. Helps build confidence by positive motivational techniques. No dog is too old to learn! 4 weeks, an hour each week, $60.
bulletPrivate lessons are available according to your own unique requirements. Maybe our class times are inconvenient for you. Maybe your dog requires special handling or you don't want him socializing with other dogs or people while you're training him. Perhaps you're looking for competition lessons. We can arrange sessions where it's just you, your dog, and our trainer at times that fit into your busy schedule.
bullet In-house training ('boarding school') provides an environment for your dog that you may not be able to provide at home. When a dog stays with us, we can train at frequent intervals for short periods of time. For problem behavior, this yields impressive results. Getting a dog away from his regular home (and away from those inevitable distractions) enables him to concentrate on the training and break bad habits. Boarding, feed, exercise, a training collar and lead are all included in the price, in addition to the multiple lessons for his human family at the end of his stay.

If your dog:

bulletpulls you around on his leash
bulletcan’t be trusted around children
bulletis overly noisy, shy, or aggressive
bulletneeds housebreaking
bulletcan’t Come, Sit, Stay, or Heel

we can help!
