Urban Dawgs

We had a great experience at Urban Dawgs with my puppy, Mittens. Since starting classes, he’s become so much more social and confident around other dogs and people, which has been wonderful to see. Training him at home has also felt a lot easier thanks to Drayton’s guidance—his approach is clear, practical, and really helped us understand how to communicate with our dog better. I’m really happy we chose Urban Dawgs and would definitely recommend it to other puppy owners.

We’ve worked with Urban Dawgs for dogs adopted from shelters, and the experience has been truly transformative. Drayton’s approach to positive reinforcement has completely shifted how we understand and relate to our dogs. The focus on keeping everyone safe and comfortable—while honoring each person’s and each dog’s unique needs, personalities, fears, and past experiences—felt deeply respectful and effective. Everything we learned was refreshingly different from what we had been taught in the past. The tools and protocols are easy to apply, realistic for day-to-day living, and immediately impactful. In a short amount of time, we noticed meaningful changes not only in our dogs’ behavior, but in how much more relaxed, connected, and joyful our relationship with them has become. We’ve learne

Drayton provided such helpful training techniques and tools to help with my 5year old cavapoo. He’s much better behaved on the leash, and is making great improvements with refraining from jumping on visitors and children. I really appreciate all the teaching and advice!

Great puppy kindergarten class. My 5 month Bernedoodle and I had a great experience, the class works on establishing essential commands and habits early while providing important socialization for your dog in a stress-free environment. Drayton is great!

We have a soft coated wheaten terrier puppy and we know that these dogs need to be socialized. I believe this training accomplishes that and much more. Our dog is very active and distracted easily. Drayton's guidance gives us a a lot of ammunition to help keep him on track. We would highly recommend this class for all puppies to help their people understand their basic needs. The Harper Family
