The training choice

Choose the right training path for your dog.

Basic training is included with every daycare and boarding day. If your dog needs more individual time, focused work can be added to daycare or boarding.

Everyday skills and reliability

Work can cover recall, loose-leash walking, place, waiting at doors, greeting without jumping, and staying responsive around distractions.See the three training levels

A specific behavior problem

Fear, reactivity, guarding, separation problems, or a dog that cannot settle need a plan built around the real behavior.See how behavior rehabilitation works

Gaithersburg pickup

Pickup from your Gaithersburg door.

Raja provides door-to-door pickup and drop-off in Gaithersburg. Regular daily collection has a 78-minute one-way planning ceiling. General pickup has an approximately 90-minute one-way ceiling. Neither is a promised travel time.

Training in Gaithersburg

A good walk and reliable behavior are different things.

Kentlands, Lakelands, Shady Grove Village, and Sundown Hills give dogs plenty of daily movement around homes, paths, people, and other dogs. A dog can be exercised well and still pull, bark, freeze, or lose focus when the environment gets busy.

Gaithersburg's Dog Exercise Area at Green Park uses a pet licence system, while Seneca Creek gives owners more space to walk. The useful training goal is a dog that can stay connected on lead, return when called, and settle around distractions wherever the day goes.

Where we collect

Kentlands, Lakelands, Shady Grove Village, Sundown Hills, and the rest of Gaithersburg.

What the work can cover

From a first foundation to harder behavior work.

Puppies and foundations

House manners, crate comfort, leash walking, recall, confidence, and a calmer start around people and dogs.See puppy training

Off-leash reliability

Recall is built in steps, with the environment made harder only after the response is ready.See off-leash training
