Dog Lovers Training ; Owned & Operated by Katie Miclette, CPDT , CCBC

Dog training can help you with many issues – beyond obedience. Nice manners out in public, better habits/routines in the house, helping your dog be less fearful of people or be better behaved for grooming and cleaning; all can be achieved with training. I can help you address any issues that you are having.
Dog Lovers Training is your source for solving dog behavior issues, obedience, therapy dog preparation, Canine Good Citizen title preparation and exam, service dog certification and all around training in Bennington. Lessons can be in your home, at the Dog Lovers Training facility or out in public, depending on your needs. Having worked extensively with rescue dogs, I am familiar with most behavioral/adjustment issues.
My bachelors degree is in Animal Behavior and I have been nationally certified CPDT-KA for 9 years. I am also a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant.

Please reach out to me if you are interested in scheduling a lesson or evaluation. I also offer video chat sessions for advice and problem solving. You can email me at [email protected], PM me through Facebook or text me at 802-338-1852.
I look forward to working with you and helping improve the quality of life for both you and your dog(s).

Anybody recognize this truck? Two terrible pet owners just pulled over- poor dog bursting to p**p… walked right up our lawn - let the little guy p**p (while looking at us while we stood in disbelief) and then ran back to the truck and drove off; hopefully decently embarrassed fot being an unprepared pet owner! Bad enough to be a bad citizen with no social graces… but these pathetic people kept that dog in the truck for way too long and were not prepared to take care of the dog. There really should be an IQ test before people are allowed to get a dog.

Ease Thunderstorm fears… try throwing a Thunderstorm Party! When I’m home with my dogs, a loud clap of thunder is followed by me tossing each dog a piece of lunchmeat or a special yummy cookie (that they don’t usually get). Even if they are too nervous to eat- their brains may still build the association of thunder and yummies…
