WELCOME TO THE

The METHOD Difference

First and foremost, our approach to dog training is rooted in a philosophy that prioritizes fostering positive interactions between owners and their beloved canine companions.

We firmly recognize that every dog is a unique individual, shaped by their experiences, home environment, lifestyle, and even their dietary preferences. This diversity highlights the need for a tailored and personalized approach to training.

While there are certain fundamental training principles that we adhere to universally, Method Dog Training distinguishes itself by its unwavering commitment to taking into account the distinctive characteristics of each dog under our guidance. We understand that no two dogs are alike, just as no two families, lifestyles, or goals are identical.

At Method Dog Training, we go beyond the cookie-cutter approach. We engage in a comprehensive evaluation of the dog’s personality, the dynamics within their family, the objectives they wish to achieve, and the time and dedication available for training. We do this in order to set realistic expectations and provide training solutions that align perfectly with the unique circumstances of each case.

In essence, our mission is to ensure that every dog, alongside their owner, embarks on a transformative journey that is as distinct as their individuality, resulting in a harmonious and fulfilling companionship for both.

What my clients say

...What truly distinguishes Joanna is her unyielding passion for preserving the bonds between dogs and their human companions. She doesn't see dog training as a mere job; it's her calling. Joanna's commitment to enhancing the lives of both pet owners and their four-legged companions is nothing short of inspiring...
...Joanna's approach to dog training is highly effective because it's tailored to the individual needs and personalities of each dog. She understands that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Her guidance might involve simple adjustments in your daily routines, changes in how you interact with or feed dog, or the introduction of new activities. The result? A restored sense of balance and harmony in your home, and a stronger bond with your pet.

I’ve never worked with a trainer before but had the opportunity to work with Joanna. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors and has proven to me with her training techniques how to get a dog to learn a certain behavior. Just when I thought it couldn’t be done with our foster dog, things began to turn around. Positive behaviors were replacing the negative behaviors and it was amazing to see. I would have never given up on him and investing in MDT proved to be a great decision for our furry friend. It wasn’t a quick or easy fix for us but so worth the time we all put into it.

I have worked with several trainers over the years for many different foster dogs, and Joanna stands out as a true gift to the world of dog training. My journey with foster dogs has been a rollercoaster, ranging from pups who were terrified of human touch to others who would literally break out of crates due to separation anxiety. Joanna has never hesitated to step up to the challenge, even when it meant spending hours at my house to address the issue. Whether you’re having behavioral issues with your dog or just want to set your puppy up for success, I highly recommend Joanna!

Joanna is the absolute dog whisperer! I just brought in a new rescue pup and had no idea what to expect or what direction to take with him. Our first session I learned sooo much! I now feel like I have the base tools to work with my pup and create the appropriate relationship, he’s interested in food now and walks so much better on a leash. I highly recommend working with MDT it is life changing and I look forward to continuing to train my pup with Joanna-so thankful for everything.
