Dog Training in Seattle That Fits Your Values |

Puppy Training Class Student
Dog training is more than dog "obedience." Good dog training improves relationships and communication and includes socialization as part of puppy training.
The Seattle area has wide variety of dog trainers and dog behavior counselors, from traditional drill-and-kill dog obedience training schools to mixed-methods dog training classes to clicker trainers, who help you train your dog or puppy to actively participate in the training process.
Before you choose a "dog whisperer" for your professional dog trainer or pick a dog obedience class from one of the many Seattle & Eastside dog training schools, make sure you are comfortable with applying their dog training methods to your puppy.
...Or even your child, because you will start to apply the methods from your dog training class to the rest of your life! [To learn more about Zen and the Art of Dog Training in Seattle at Ahimsa, read our dog and puppy training philosophy.]
Our philosophy of Ahimsa, or non-violence, extends beyond dog training to how we treat the Earth. We are in the EPA's Green Power Partnership and Seattle City Light's Green Up Program. Click to read about more ways that Ahimsa Dog Training is Green.
Dog Training in Seattle That Makes Sense |

Puppy Training Class Student
Ahimsa's Seattle dog and puppy training classes help you train your dog using a clicker (or a voice marker, like "Yes") to teach the dog exactly what you want. During training, the dog or puppy (or cat!) associates the clicker with a reward, like food. Clicker training even works for deaf dogs, by using a visual signal instead of the clicker.
Some dog training schools in the Seattle area have been slow to adopt the clicker in dog training. It's a myth that clicker trained dogs or puppies won't listen to you without the clicker. See our clicker trained dog video.
Dogs and puppies are trained very quickly with the clicker, without force, which is why we train dogs with clicker training at Ahimsa. To learn more about clicker training your Seattle dog or puppy, read our free dog clicker training article. Better yet, join one of our Seattle Dog Training Classes!
