Your go-to source for all things dog training in Northern Nevada! We are a family-run business that helps people and their dogs from all over the west coast. We pride ourselves in our flexibility and adaptability with each dog we train. We use a large array of techniques in our training as we handle all kind of dogs from puppies needing a good foundation of skills set up, to nervous shelter dogs, and extreme behavioral issues. We have an array of options that we enjoy using but have found great success teaching the proper use of positive reinforcement, marker training, slip leads, prong collars and e-collars. We believe in a healthy balance of all humane training methods and recognize that all dogs perceive tools and interaction with humans differently, therefore each dog in training is approached in a unique manner that suits them best. We believe strongly that only 25% of what we do is dog trining, and the rest is human training! All of our programs are tailored to not only teach your dog, but to teach you. We do not offer a magic solution that will fix all your problems. Instead, we lay a solid foundation, break habits and teach new skills then show you how to access those skills and enforce everything at home. With our programs, your dog’s success is entirely contingent on your follow-through and consistency and we will be with you every step of the way if you are committed. The love of dogs drives everything we do in our business and it is our goal to arm as many dog owners as possible with the plethora of training knowledge we have to offer! Our philosophy at Stand Proud is to use structure, consistency, motivation and leadership to help dogs live happier and healthier lives. When a dog and owner communicate clearly and can depend on each other’s behavior, the possibilities are endless!
