Is your pet a well behaved member of your family?  Or can they use some fine tuning? 

Our motto "Training both ends of the leash" explains exactly what we do.  We teach you how to train your dog, thereby increasing the relationship between you and your dog.

All dogs learn differently, and respond to different methods.  The Laundered Mutt & Training Center focuses primarily on positive training methods. We feel that this is the best way to strengthen the bond between you and your dog.  Your dog learns that training can be fun and rewarding.

Cat Zoyiopoulos is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer.

Levels:  Our most flexible schedule.  In this class you come when it is convenient for you.  Focusing on basic dog obedience skills and graduating to the more advanced skills.  Each dog must pass a skills test before moving to the next level.  Levels begin with basic skills such as sit, down, come, leave it, etc and go as far as advanced competition obedience skills.  (see Levels outline below)  Each dog will be evaluated prior to level placement.  Ages 12 weeks and older. Open enrollment allows you to start when you want.  We limit our class size to the first 7 dogs, so come early if possible.

Trick Classes:  One of our most popular classes.  This class almost always sells out early.  Think your dog should be in movies?  Teach your dog to go to its mark, touch specific items, roll over, play dead, spin, wave, bark, turn on a light switch, get the newspaper, or bark on cue.  Our trick class is fun for both handler and dog!  Space is limited to 7 dogs.  Stop by and reserve your spot, this class fills quickly.
