Seattle Area Dog Trainers

Does your dog chase a ball? Does it not stop there? Does he also chase the cat, the kids, the people riding their bikes down the street, moving vehicles, his own shadow? Whether your dog is seriously hyper-active, stressed out from anxiety, or is tearing down the house with his destructive behavior, Here's 5 of the top Seattle trainers to help you and your dog live a better life together.





Ahimsa Training is located in the Ballard area and offers a vast selection of training and workshops. Including private training for your dog, while you are at work. Their philosophy is to take "a positive approach to the dog-human relationship."
About: Dog training is all about forming a solid relationship with your dog. Teach them what you want and motivate them to do it consistently, but also learn what they need from you to live a happy life.

About: The Service Dog Academy is a PET and service dog training school located in the West Seattle neighborhood of Seattle, WA. We train your dog using a combination of both private in home training sessions as well as obedience classes for both adult and puppy dogs. We use humane and positive training methods to quickly address your dogs behavioral problems (including anxiety, aggression, potty training, biting, jumping, stealing, separation anxiety and barking). When you train your pet dog with us 100% of the profits go towards supporting the low cost service dog training program. Training with the Service Dog Academy is a great way to "pay it forward" while getting something in return. We are pleased to announce that in July we will start serving the Beacon Hill area with adult obedience dog training classes.


Nitro-K9 offers classes and workshops in basic training, stopping aggression as well as more advanced training for creating a dog that will protect you and your home.
About: Our system was founded in 1994 by Steve Walter: a well-educated man with the motivation to create a training program that actually works. Tired of the "behavior for food" fad sweeping the nation, Steve created the "Nitro Dog" K-9 training system. Based on proven European dog training techniques used daily by police and military, the training system includes Asian philosophy to promote unity with the universe and the exchange of Chi between dog and handler. This training is tested and results are evident.

Nitro-K9 also provides sitting, walking, and lodging services.
