Working Dog Training Company

Short version: if you’re on the fence about reaching out to Working Dog Training Company for help, do not hesitate, they are great! Now the details: We took our 13month old GSD to working dog training company as we started to notice minor reactivity and confidence issues. She had a great start to obedience but lacked engagement and focus. We had goals to address the above but also to prepare her for adventures, including hiking, mountain biking, lake life, etc. but felt awkward asking for help from a trainer for such “minor” things. She spent 30 days with Lucas [and his great wife!] and came home far more confident, focused, and attentive. I’ve never had a dog reliable off leash, I was nervous, but we felt a ton of support in the confidence and conversations with her trainer. Including a

I found Working Dogs Training through a Google search while looking for a program to help our pup transition into a service dog role—specifically to support children during forensic interviews at our advocacy center. From start to finish, the experience exceeded every expectation. Thanks to their expertise, our dog now offers calm, steady support at work while remaining a joyful, well-behaved companion at home. She’s truly the best of both worlds. I highly recommend Working Dogs Training for anyone looking to build consistency in language, obedience, and routines. Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in the success of both dog and handler.

Iris had real bad separation anxiety and needed more confidence. We did the 30 day stay and train program. We are so happy with the results. She is a different pup. I would highly recommend Working Dog Training Company.

We have been with WDTCo since my doberman has been 6 months old. He is as of today 2. Between board and train, private lessons and club, this company is more like family now. They have dropped everything to accommodate any issues or behavior we wanted corrected. Kaylon, Katie and Lucas are a great team offering many different options. We started with board and train with obedience and introduction to bitework at 6 months old. They know how to build a dog the right way. I have sent a few people to them and will continue to do so. I searched Michigan for the best trainer and program and came across Kaylon, most trainers wanted to build my dog and hand me off a fully trained dog but I wasn’t any part of the training, Kaylon developed a program for me to learn alongside Remy. So weekly we’d m

We took our 3 year old Daniff to Working Dog. She had decided she no longer needed to listen, she barked at every squirrel person or leaf that went past our windows. Working Dog did an amazing job with teaching her impulse control, then teaching us how to work with her. My son wanted nothing to do with her because of her behavior, now he takes her on walks. She goes to baseball games and just watches everyone, versus getting distracted by everything before. I highly recommend Working Dog Training. They go above and beyond to make sure you and your dog are happy and successful.
