Coronavirus update

  

Message to students- March 25, 2020

Hi all, Everydog’s physical location is closed as of yesterday, until at least April 7. We are working hard to put together some online classes, training challenges and chats, to keep us all training while we’re at home. A list of resources and classes will be up on the website by the weekend.

In thinking about what to write here today, I was thinking about all of you. What can we offer you that would be helpful? Do you need ideas for how to keep your dog busy while you work from home? Ways to have fun with your dog? Perhaps you need basic manners classes or new puppy info? Maybe you miss just talking about dogs with your buddies and would like to continue that social time? To make sure that we’re offering things that will be helpful to you, please take a moment to answer this short survey (about 3 minutes): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YWN6Z9T 

We’re all facing uncertainty and anxiety as we figure out how to live in new ways over the next few weeks. You may be experiencing the same financial anxiety that we are, and we don’t want that to stand in the way of your connection to our community. Therefore we will be offering some free as well as paid content, and we want to make sure that we figure out a way to help you with your dog if you need it. Please reach out to us!

I’d also like to take this time to thank everyone for their continued support- we’ve gotten so many messages of kindness and understanding! Your good thoughts are really keeping us going these days, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

When thinking about what Everydog can offer over the next few weeks, I thought about what we do best. There are tons of great online resources out there already, so I asked myself, why would people stay with us? Our trainers are an especially skilled and compassionate group, but so are lots of others. The word that comes to mind about what makes us truly special is community. We’ll all need our friendships and connections to sustain us. Let’s stick together and find new ways to keep our community going!

About Us

Science Based, HumaneTraining

Everydog Training Center is a dog training collaborative. Founded and managed by Diane Kurkjian, this training center is envisioned as a way to bring all sorts of training classes, from basic manners to dog sports, together into one canine community center.  We are committed to science-based training that is kind to dogs and their owners. Let us show you how fun and rewarding dog training can be!

Experienced Trainers

Together we have over 50 years combined experience with dogs. We constantly strive to learn and improve on our own training, and pass our knowledge on to our clients. Our trainers are committed to providing effective, kind and fun training.

Training Philosophy

The first step in teaching a dog what you want is to set them up for success. Arrange their environment to prevent undesirable behaviors and make desirable ones easier.
Dogs do what works best for them. We need to think about how the situation looks to the dog, and find a way to get success, perhaps by breaking the behavior down into smaller pieces, reducing distractions while they're learning, teaching an alternative behavior, or changing the reward.
Training with gentle, force-free methods improves our relationship with our dogs. Isn't that what it's all about?
