What do you
need help with?

  • Our standard obedience training covers basic obedience commands such as “sit,” “down,” and “heel” or loose-leash walk, in-home manners, and off-leash control under various distraction levels.

  • For those who might have a dog that struggles with fear, over-excitement, barking at dogs or people on walks, and more, our trainers are all highly-trained in reactivity of all kinds in all breeds.

  • From house-breaking to biting to obedience, get your puppy started off on the right paw with early, age-appropriate training.

  • Every dog is an individual, as is every owner and situation. We’re here to work with YOU to figure out exactly what you’re looking for, and then help you get there. Contact us today to get started!

What clients are saying:

  • “After years of bad habits, Carla and Cassie helped us FINALLY regain control and confidence handling Sonny, our reactive German Shepherd. Dog ownership is way more enjoyable and we look forward to continuing our work together.”

  • “I had tried several trainers, but Nala needed more, so Higher Standard’s Board & Train Program was perfect for us. Training with Nala will always be a journey, but now she is more fulfilled and I continue to help her live her best life.”

    Jen & Nala

  • “Working with Higher Standard Dog Training has completely transformed the quality of life for myself and my reactive rescue pup, Luna. Carla and Cassie have been truly invested in our progress.”
