Our philosophy at Maude & the Bulldogs, LLC, is simple.
We meet each dog (and human!) where they’re at, to provide personalized care and training, with empathy, compassion, and respect.
Our values are service, community, and connection.
Our mission is to enhance quality of life for people and their canine companions through training support; to empower aspiring dog industry professionals through teaching; and to give owners peace of mind with our boutique, highly individualized boarding services.
Our training focuses on state of mind rather than obedience to coach, teach, and guide our dogs in appropriate decision making through enhanced emotional regulation. We use drives (pack, prey, defense) as well as both classical and operant conditioning techniques to shape behavior and cultivate a calm, healthy mindset through agreement and disagreement with dogs’ organic choices.
Our online training sessions and owner consultation calls are customized to YOUR goals and individualized for each dog’s needs.
We treat each dog-owner dyad as the unique individuals they are, so no two training plans are the same. If you are struggling with reactivity, manners, being calm in the home, walking nicely on a leash, non-aggression-related problem behaviors, or simply want to live a more balanced life with your dog, we can help! Common skills that we teach include heel, place, pausing at thresholds, and crate manners. We use obedience as a tool to slow the body and mind to create a dog who makes intentional decisions rather than emotional reactions - our outcomes are state of mind based.
We are open minded and non-judgmental in our training approach in order to meet the needs of both owner and canine in the pursuit of a more balanced life, together.

In order for your dog to know what a command IS, he needs to know what it IS NOT.
Let your dog make mistakes - and give feedback. (Of course, give feedback when he makes the correct choice, too!)
Help him figure it out instead of dictating his every move, and watch him learn quickly & effectively! #nomoremicromanaging

Nail trims are more than pawdicures.
They’re an opportunity for building trust & practicing advocacy.
They’re time for skin, ear, & joint health monitoring.
They’re an exercise in patience, calm, & persistence.
The time & energy spent on handling is an incredible investment that you will reap rewards from, in other aspects of your relationship. It’s so much more than a pawdicure.
➡️ Want to learn how to do your dog’s nails with in person or online 1:1 coaching? Message me! We offer dog training lessons for humans and their canines, both in person and online.

August 2024 Community Pack Walk - thank you for attending!! Our next pack walk is September 15 at 11am; I hope to see you there! 💕
Message me with any questions. 🤗
FAQ: What are your pick up and drop off hours?
The answer: We are available for pick up and drop off appointments as often as possible while caring for dogs (walks, place, cleaning, grooming, etc.), teaching lessons, facilitating community events like pack walks - and taking care of our mental & physical health (gym, therapy, and more!) to be the best versions of ourselves and show up with full cups to serve others with joy and gratitude. We block our calendars as needed to accommodate these commitments, and we greatly appreciate your flexibility and understanding!
We do ask that folks schedule appointments to ensure that we are available for drop off decompression time and have your dogs brushed (if needed), physically fulfilled and ready for pick up. (You’ll get an email 4-6 weeks before your boarding reservation dates with a link to schedule!)
See below for our general hours of operation - please note that we do not accept drop off or pick up appointments on major holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day & Eve, New Year’s Day):
Sunday: 11a-4p
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 7a-6p
Wednesday: 7a-5p
Saturday: 7a-4p
