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

Germantown pickup

Pickup from your Germantown door.

Raja provides door-to-door pickup and drop-off in Germantown. 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 Germantown

Exercise and attention solve different Germantown walk problems.

A dog can enjoy Seneca Creek outings or play at Ridge Road and still pull when another dog appears on the way home. Exercise gives your dog something to do. Training works on how your dog responds to you when the surroundings become more interesting.

For owners in Gunners Lake Village, Kingsview Village, or the other Germantown villages, start with the behavior that disrupts a normal day. Calm walking and responding around distractions can point toward obedience work; barking, fear, or difficult dog encounters may need a different plan. The evaluation makes that distinction before the first training day.

Where we collect

Gunners Lake Village, Kingsview Village, Churchill Village, Middlebrook Village, Clopper's Mill Village, and the rest of Germantown.

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
