Why choose Higher Standard Dog Training?

Our training focuses on the roots of the behaviors, not just the “tip of the iceberg,” so to speak. Long-lasting, effective dog training is more than just what you can see, and is so often about the things you don’t. Our trainers are experts on not just identifying those unseen aspects, but teaching YOU to see them too.

What kinds of services do you offer?

From private lessons to board and trains to customized training plans, we offer it all. Whatever you need, even if you don’t know what you need yet, we can provide.

Where can I find pricing information?

All pricing is subject to change, depending on the specific training plan recommended. For those serious about training with us, please contact to schedule an in-person, in-depth consultation.

What types of dogs do you train? Can you help my dog?

If there could only be one fundamental truth in the world of dog training, it is that all dogs benefit from good training. We train any breed, any age, any size, and any issue.

Do you use training tools?

Having the right tools to communicate with your dog is an essential aspect of dog training. We will recommend and utilize various tools upon assessing your dog, which may include food, kennels/crates, prong collars, e-collars (electronic collars), toys, tugs, martingale collars, long lines, slip leads, place beds, harnesses, treats, and more.

Do you offer boarding?

Yes! All current and past clients are eligible for boarding with one of our trainers. Boarding is structured and intended to keep your dog happy, safe, and fulfilled while you are away!
