Teacher's Pet Training Academy

Fun, pawsitive dog training classes and private sessions in the Greater Madison area

Our dedicated, positive, certified trainers offer small, individualized classes that are capped at 6 canine participants in order to give you and your pet(s) the tools you need to reach your training goals. Our classes are held in convenient locations in Middleton, Waunakee, Sun Prairie, and Cross Plains. In addition, we offer in-home private training to meet you and your pet’s specific needs.

All of our trainers are certified through the Certification Council For Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), the leading independent certifying organization for the dog training profession, so you can be sure your family is receiving humane, up-to-date, science-based information on how to communicate and work with your best friend.
