The Home Grown Dog was started with the goal of bridging the gap in communication and understanding between owners and their dogs through training. Our relationship-based methods are focused on improving your life AND your dog's; we're here to help owners instill confidence and calm in their four-legged family members.
The journey may start with us, but true + lasting change in your dog will be grown from home!
Our
Approach
Dog training isn't one size fits all...
Our relationship-based training approach is designed to give you and your dog the tools you BOTH need to succeed. Board + Train programs are NOT magic! They are an amazing jump-start for you and your pup, but you will still have to keep up with training once you're back at home.
When it comes to tools, we believe in using e-collars, prong collars and slip leashes.
Every dog is different, so the tool will depend on both the owner and the dog!
However the one tool that is a constant for every dog we train, is a crate.
Crate training is an INVALUABLE skill that every dog that comes to us will learn and utilize!
"Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen."
