Pet Trainers in Ankeny, IA

Canine Craze is by homemakers. A little out of the way, but it's a great group. They helped us with our severely abused and neglected rescue.

Try reading "The Loved Dog" by Tamar Geller. It was wonderful in helping me train our dog!

Des Moines Obedience Training Club. And I'm pretty sure ARL has classes too

I recommend Rovers Ranch. Darcy is amazing! She's been working with dogs forever she knows them so well and is so patient with them! She does positive reinforcement training not punishment. She knows her stuff!!!! She keeps class sizes small so she can work with each person as needed with each individual pets needs. http://roversranch.com

Wags... Meg McDonald is the trainer

Canine Craze Performance Center for trainers and don't take him to a dog park - especially if he has aggression issues. That's a huge liability for you.

Jen Hirakawa. We adopted a 1.5 year old black lab mix who ended up having a lot of behavior issues. jen is certified on soooo many levels. She has 6 dogs herself and some of which were "ubadoptables" that the shelters were going to have to put down because of temper or aggression. She has rehabbed all of them. She works with all breeds including my 2 sisters dogs huskie (they are a very difficult and stubborn dogs breed) and my other sister has a 6 month old Great Dane (as a 100lb puppy was causing havoc). jen has changed our world...even within the first hour and a half I had with her with our dog she had assessed him and taught him to lay and sit on hand signals alone. Over the last 6 weeks we went from a dog with the worst of anxiety disorders (who destroyed our house, 2 two kennels, 1 crate, and our garage) to a dog who happily goes to his kennel and doesn't mark, defficate, or try to escape). Jen spent 24 years in the military as a dog trainer for MP's, and has her college degree in animal behavior and psychology. She is the best and doesn't use aggression with animals but patience. Our dog has made such a turn around that we have now chosen to get him certified As a therapy dog!

Jen's # is: +1 (515) 664-5292

Jay Green. He trains police dogs.

Yes! Jay! 515-360-2995. Tell him Willy the Shar-pei sent you! He will know exactly who you are talking about. I about had to out Willy to sleep due to aggression. Now he loves everyone. I can't say enough good thing about Jay!

Jay Green.

I had a rotti that was amazing, but very aggressive to my other dog randomly and very unpredictable as she aged. Made it to 13 and I dealt with her issues as best I could, but know you are doing a great job of seeking training now. Canine Krave does training as well. I suggest maybe a in home trainer to deal with his/her life and actions in your home with the people involved that need to be accepted.

Anna Childs specializes in dogs with 'issues'. Raises & shows German Shepherds. She's in Altoona I believe

Jennifer Hirakawa with Kawa Farms is awesome and she does in home training

Jessica Lohry, who owns Dogwoods in Grimes is a really a good trainer for dogs and their people. All positive reinforcement. Her own dogs diabetic alert (which is what we went to her for, successfully), search & rescue and can put their toys away. The y can also get her a gatorade from the fridge and close the door, or bring her a snack bar from the cupboard (and close the door). She has also worked with quite a few of my frends' dogs with behavior issues. She is amazing.

Please encourage them to contact a positive reinforcement trainer with behav mod experience. Force & aversive techniques are not recommended for any dog, but could escalate behavior in a "dominant" personality ...

Jacquie Holm-Smith ~ she was terrified to go past our yard after an issue we had with a car. I was babying her, not pushing her to realize that it was safe. He helped my boyfriend and I realize that it was our responsibility more so than coaxing her -- that if we pushed her into the water, so to speak, she would learn to swim. He did very well with her and, for me, it was a bit of tough love as I DO baby her -- so the training actually helped me more than it really directly helped her. smile emoticon

Derrick Honore is the best! At Ankeny Bark Avenue

Paula Sunday was great for my Great Pyrenees

Anna Childs is THE person to go to, from what I've heard. I'm actually going to be getting in touch with her regarding our newest puppy that clearly has alpha issues, as well, and is unmanageable on a leash.

I absolutely love Canine Training by Mystic Moon (Tonja). She will come in and do in-home training or also has group classes. Our dog was cornering people at the front door and she was able to help us stop the behavior in two sessions.

Shanna Simpkins- best trainer ever

Anna Childs with Adelhorst Kennels. Excellent dog trainer. Has classes or personal training.

Anna Childs at Adelhorst in Altoona!

Clint Knox. I will message you his information when I am back in the office tomorrow. He will work with you in your home and will hopefully be offering some classes at Heart of Ankeny once we get the space renovated.

Canine Training By Mystic Moon, Inc. Is fabulous. I can't say enough about the changes she made with our dog!

Dana Fedman with pupstart

Ankeny Dog Training Academy on Magazine Road in Ankeny is really great!
