High Expectations Dog Training

Positive Training for the Family Dog

Give Your Puppy the Best Start in Life

Build confidence, manners, and a lifelong bond with our all-in-one Puppy Package—designed to guide you through every critical stage of early development.

Creating Lifelong Bonds Through Dedicated Training

You, your family, and your dog deserve a great relationship including trust, respect, and companionship. To achieve this, we must learn how to best communicate with our dogs. Through positive training and clear communication with your dog, we can improve your dogs behavior. Training the family dog can be enjoyable and fun with proper guidance. We can provide you with the right tools to create a relaxing and fun training environment.

After obtaining good manners with your dog, we can continue building that training bond and relationship through one of our higher-level classes, or one of the many fun classes that we offer to keep your dog happy and healthy.

High Expectations has been working with me over the past year to navigate raising a well adjusted puppy. I have worked with most of the trainers and feel confident taking my pup out into all environments. Katie has great instincts for working with all dogs and people as well. Her staff is filled with knowledgable, helpful, and good spirited people who are always friendly and welcoming. Brooke is amazing taking care of the administrative needs of the clients. I feel perfectly capable of eventually getting another puppy knowing they will be there to help. 10 stars!

Trainers are very kind and willing to answer lots of questions. In group settings, they are very thoughtful of the dynamics between the different dogs to allow more reactive dogs to feel safe and minimizing class disruptions for less reactive dogs.

I love that it is a low pressure environment, but still offering many options to add complexity if we choose. It allows us to set our own pace and be as rigid or lax in our training as we choose, or to give our pup extra challenges.

We have a dog that needs to be constantly challenged, so we have done a combination of behavior classes and "fun" classes (agility/tricks) and all have been great experiences. If we say it's "time for school" our dog perks up and sprints for the door, so she clearly loves her time there!

We are absolutely loving our experience with High Expectations so far! My baby Ranger is doing their puppy class and puppy day school and I feel like he's getting such a leg up on socialization and training beyond what I could ever provide on my own. Also, he has never slept as good as he did after coming home from class! Can't wait to continue his training with these wonderful gals 🥰

We had our first Manners Class this past week. Our Mitzy is already better for it. The instructor was so attentive and knowledgeable. We feel we are in good hands.
