At Lucky Dog Company, we are positive reinforcement, reward based trainers working to build a better bond between you and your canine partner.  Using positive fun training techniques we help your dog be the best companion they can be!  We do not use force or teach you to use force when working with your dog.  Training should be a life long commitment plus fun and enjoyable for everyone.  Our goal is to help people and their dogs strenghthen their relationships, have fun, and live the best lives they can!

Our trainers share their lives and work with dogs from all backgrounds.  We offer a variety of group classes, private sessions and behavior modification.  Knowing that each person and dog is not the same and may need a different kind of training, we work with several trainers in the area and can help find the right method for you and your dog.

We also carry Treats, Food, Leashes, Collars, Toys, Training Aides, and fun gifts for Dog Lovers. We manufacture Agility Equipment, dog beds and bowls. 




Lucky Dog Company trainers use only positive reinforcement to train your dog and you! You've probably heard the term a lot recently in regard to the "new" way to train your dog, but what exactly is positive reinforcement? And how can you be certain that the trainers you choose adhere to this humane, gentle and most SUCCESSFUL way of teaching your beloved companion?

Positive reinforcement dog training works by always using praise and positive actions or rewards to teach your dog the behaviors you want and never uses physical punishment or correctional actions to teach what you don't want. The key with this type of training is to determine what it is that motivates your dog, and this is where we can help, and use that motivator as a reward upon correct performance ignoring incorrect performance. In positive reinforcement dog training we teach you how to use treats, toys, physical affection, verbal praise or a combination of any of these, we'll help you figure out your dogs "motivator" and show you the correct timing to reward your dog for good behavior. Any behaviors you don't want are taught by removing your dog's "motivator" never by using pain, fear or yelling. Your dog will WANT to please you and will LOVE you for it. It's simple, gentle and most importantly it works! Lucky Dog Company clients see this time and again which is why so many of them stay with us and our training programs. Consistency and practice are key too, which is why we keep our classes small 3-6 dogs with 2 trainers per class so we can give you and your dog individual attention answering any questions you may have and helping you to create a life long learning bond with your canine partner.

All trainers are not the same and although some trainers advocate that they use only positive reinforcement they do still suggest prong collars, choke chains and even shock collars for use on your dog! These trainers are NOT Purely Positive. Before you decide on a trainer please ask a few simple questions.

1. Are they positive reinforcement trainers? What is their understanding of positive reinforcement?
2. Do they advocate the use of any of the following, prong, choke, shock collars? Squirting water into a dogs face? Using any type of force or aggression to make a dog do something?
3. Do they have more than 4 dogs to one trainer in any class?

If the answer to any of these is YES then please take yourself and you best canine buddy somewhere else to train.

Sincerely- Mary & Ann

Why our classes are small: 
At Lucky Dog Company our classes usually have 3-6 dogs per class and 2 trainers in each class.  Ann and I believe this adds to the value of our classes for the following reasons:
  • More individualized attention from the trainers.  Owners and dogs don't get over looked. Ability to work on specific problems.
  • Lower stress levels for owners and dogs. Relaxed setting allows more learning to happen for both people and dogs.
  • More time to work on specific skills and run through routines.
  • More intimate atmosphere lets owners and dogs get to know each other and create friendships outside of class. 
  • Get to know your trainers and develop a good relationship with them.
  • Small classes with 2 trainers allow for individual attention if needed without disrupting the class for others.
Lucky Dog Company believes in purely positive training. We strive to create a truly relaxed and happy atmosphere for dogs & people. This is when learning happens and fantastic bonds are built.
