What We Train
Services Designed for Real Results
Every dog deserves training. Haven Dog Training offers structured and methodical programs built around your dog's specific needs — from foundational obedience to advanced Therapy Dog preparation and behavior modification.
Core Obedience
Pet Dog Obedience
Our flagship program helps build a well-mannered dog. We focus on the foundational skills every dog needs — focus, sit, down, stay, come, leave-it, place, and leash manners. These are the typical skills, however some dogs may benefit by learning different skills. Whether your dog is a blank slate or has some bad habits to unlearn, this program works toward creating a confident, responsive companion. This program includes the optional AKC Canine Good Citizen title & certificate, at no extra cost.

CertifiedAdvanced Certification
Therapy Dog Preparation
Therapy Dogs bring comfort and joy to people in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and more. This program prepares your dog for the appropriate Therapy Dog testing and beyond. Not all dogs will qualify for this type of work. Dogs must genuinely appreciate the affection and attention of adults, children, and elderly. They must also have a neutral disposition when among other dogs. While these things have the potential to be worked on through a program, understand it typically requires more time and training. Therapy Dog work is one of the most rewarding things you can do with your dog for others - and one of my favorite things!
- Training may start at any age, but the dog must be 1-year old to test for certification
- Timeframe determined after evaluation
- Pricing depends on time. Time depends on what's required to train
- Insurance is required to begin Therapy Dog work

Behavior Modification
Dogs aren't trying to give you a hard time - they're having a hard time. For dogs struggling with excessive fear, reactivity, aggression, or anxiety, our Behavior Modification program offers a structured, compassionate path forward. We use a wholistic approach to identify the root cause of the behavior, build a customized plan, and work systematically to replace unwanted responses with calm, confident ones. This program requires an evaluation.
