Atta Pup - Private Puppy Training - CPDT-KA Certified - Hagerstown, MD
Here at Atta Pup, I help dogs learn what we want them to do and empower them to independently make their own "good decisions."
I train with science! I'll use methods based on current research and rooted in psychology. I will never use or encourage the use of painful, scary, or irritating methods or "training tools."
I am a member of the Pet Professional Guild and hold CPDT-KA and PMCT certifications, as well as a graduate degree in psychology.
For private training, I realized all clients benefit from a package. I no longer offer single appointments, because I want to know what happens after I leave. New clients will receive a minimum of three appointments total (starts at $310,) but many prefer to go with my intensive packages that allow two appointments per week (starts at $1495.) This option is often "friendlier" than board and train, because you can play an active role in the training and know exactly what is happening to your best buddy during his sessions.
**NOTES**
There is a $15 travel fee per appointment for clients 20 miles away from Central Dawgma in Hagerstown.
Please contact and book our private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You.

Animals reasoning is very simple. If it works, do it. If we want our pets to follow "dumb human rules," we need to teach them the rules and then motivate them to make their own choices to follow them.
