Hike and Train
Often called “training hikes,” this service uses positive, force-free methods to teach your dog and satisfy their instinctual desires for adventure.
This service uses nature as a stimuli to ensure training methods cut through the noise. It is the fastest and most effective training methodology we offer.
Our team of professional trainers (accredited, licensed, and insured), will take your dog on the hike of a lifetime — once or multiple times a week — so they can learn how they learn best: with practical instructions coated in a hefty dose of play, in nature.
In-Home Dog Training
We offer personalized training services in your home or neighborhood to build foundational skills or curb problem behaviors. We’re happy to schedule 1-on-1 training sessions and build a custom program to help your pup become their best-behaved self.
From foundational puppy training tailored towards social integration into future services like group walks, park play, or hiking to curbing serious behavioral issues, our skilled and certified team can assist with your dog training needs.
The Benefits
We all love our dogs but some behaviors can test your patience at best, or be a risk to the health and safety of your dog and others at worst.
See why Positive-Reinforcement Dog Training with Boston Dog Butlers outperforms other training services:
Happier Dogs: unfortunately, many of a dogs’ natural instincts don’t work in the human world, and it’s our job and mission to make sure our dogs know the rules and proper behavior to thrive.
Less Anxiety, More Fun! negative behaviors often stem from an underlying anxiety or stress. Training our dogs out of these behaviors, redirecting energy from stress, and giving them positive reinforcement allows our dogs to live their happiest lives.
Peace of Mind: as pet parents, we all want our dogs to thrive and live a happy life. Proper training helps you feel confident your dog can safely navigate the world without causing extra stress for you or your dog.
