At Run-a-Mutt, we believe a well-trained dog is more than just obedient—it’s a happier, more confident companion.
The bond between a dog and its owner thrives on trust, understanding, and mutual respect. Our personalized dog training services, including the Puppy Starter Kit, Boneminimum, and Ultimutt Package, strengthen that bond through customized training tailored to each dog’s and owner’s specific needs.
Why Personalized Training Matters
In Northern Nevada, communities like Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Truckee, and Lake Tahoe offer diverse environments, presenting dog owners with various challenges. Some dogs struggle with socialization in busy urban settings, while others face recall issues on the trails around Lake Tahoe. A one-size-fits-all approach fails to address these unique situations effectively.
Personalized training considers your dog’s personality, your environment, and your goals. For example, the Puppy Starter Kit suits new puppy owners looking to instill good habits early. This package includes two 1.5-hour in-home lessons focused on socialization, housebreaking, and basic commands. By starting with a strong foundation, you ensure your puppy develops good behavior for life.
For dogs with established behavior issues, our Ultimutt Package offers four one-hour lessons targeting complex challenges like aggression, anxiety, or impulsivity. Our founder, Sally, works closely with you and your dog, understanding the root causes of these behaviors and developing effective strategies to address them.
The Run-a-Mutt Difference
Run-a-Mutt excels in dog training techniques and understands the unique dynamics of dog-owner relationships. We use positive reinforcement methods to build trust and encourage desired behaviors. This approach ensures your dog enjoys the training process and retains what they learn.
Our services extend throughout Northern Nevada, with flexible session options in your home or at local parks and trails, where your dog can practice in real-world environments. Whether you live in Reno or the outskirts of Truckee, our training meets the specific challenges of your location.
