Dog Training 

Dog training services will begin following our grand opening.

Members get first crack at every class and the best pricing — so the dogs who join early are the ones who get the trainer's calendar before it fills.

Want priority access to training? Become a member now.

We plan to offer a wide range of dog training programs for dogs of all ages and experience levels, including:

• Puppy Socialization and Puppy Playtime

• AKC STAR Puppy

• AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC)

• AKC Community Canine (CGCA)

• AKC Urban CGC (CGCU)

• Canine Good Citizen Testing

• Trick Dog Classes from Novice through Trick Dog Performer and Trick Dog Champion levels

• Specialized training plans for deaf, blind, or otherwise unique dogs

• Customized private training programs based on individual goals

Whether you want a calmer dog at home or a wall full of AKC titles, there is a path here. Our focus is practical, real-world training that helps dogs and owners actually communicate — not tricks that fall apart the second you leave class.

Join now to get first access to training programs at member pricing.

Our training philosophy is based on LIMA — Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive — principles. We prioritize positive reinforcement, reward-based learning, thoughtful management, and clear communication to help dogs learn in a way that builds confidence and trust.

No fear, no force, no shutting a dog down — just methods that build a dog who wants to work with you. Because every dog-and-owner team is unique, training plans are customized to your goals and your dog's learning style. During private consultations, we map out the exact tools and techniques for your situation.

Ready for force-free training that sticks? Become a member and reserve your spot.

Our lead trainer is Timmy Ziuzin, General Manager of Pawsome Park & Lodge. Timmy is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, an AKC Family Dog Program Evaluator, and a Certified Trick Dog Instructor, and is currently pursuing additional education in Applied Animal Behavior.

This is not a part-timer who took a weekend course. Timmy brings deep experience training, handling, competing, and titling dogs across obedience, agility, conformation, scent sports, nose work, shed hunting, trick training, and canine enrichment. As demand grows, we will add specialists for advanced classes — but you are starting with a credentialed, competition-proven trainer.

Both. We plan to offer private one-on-one training, puppy socialization programs, group classes, workshops, and specialty seminars. Available options will expand as new programs are introduced based on member interest.

Want focused, customized work? Go private. Want your dog learning around the distraction of other dogs? Go group. You are not locked into one format — you pick what fits your dog and your goals.

While some future training programs may open to non-members, Pawsome members receive priority access to training opportunities, events, and specialty programs. Membership is the best way to guarantee your spot and get the most value from our training offerings.

Classes have limited seats. When a popular program opens, members book first — non-members take whatever is left, if anything. If training is part of why you are here, membership is the way to make sure you actually get in.

Pricing and program length vary by service. Private lessons, group classes, workshops, and behavior modification programs each have different structures and goals. Final pricing and program details will be announced closer to launch and will continue to expand based on member interest — and members will hear first, at member rates.

Want to be first to know — and first to book? Become a member now.

That depends on the program. Some classes are designed specifically for young puppies, while others are built for adolescent, adult, or advanced dogs. Whether your dog is just getting started or working toward advanced titles, we will help you find the program that best matches your goals.

It is never too early and rarely too late. Puppies build a foundation; older dogs absolutely learn new tricks. We will point you to the right starting line.

Not sure where your dog fits? Join and ask our trainer — we will guide you.
