“Cannot say enough good things about Mannered Mutts Training!!! In just 4 weeks they took an excitable bully breed rescue with no manners and turned him in to a gentleman and a good listener! Button would literally leap out of the door every morning so excited to get to school. The trainers are knowledgeable and so helpful, if you’re in the Bloomington area and need training services for your pup these guys are a 10/10 on all accounts.”

Board & Train

Your dog stays overnight in our large cabins and works with our team daily, getting multiple personalized training sessions throughout each day. Per each week of training purchased, you will receive a private lesson with one of our trainers where you will learn how to work on the skills that your dog has learned while staying with us in your home.

Your dog will get multiple personalized training sessions throughout the day depending on their individual goals. Included with each week of day training purchased, you will receive a private lesson where you will learn how to work on the skills that your dog learns during the day in your home.

Private Lessons

We offer one-on-one lessons with you and your dog. Lessons can be in-facility, in-home, at a park, or in a public place of your choosing. This is a great option for people who want to learn to do the training themselves or need extra help in their home environment. Our trainers are available for in-home lessons in the Bloomington area.

“Highly recommend Mannered Mutts for dog training! My dog is deaf and tends to have issues with strangers and other dogs. She is now making much better choices in all situations and is much more obedient overall thanks to the Mannered Mutts team!”

"Mannered Mutts gave me my life back! My impossibly stubborn and difficult dog is now manageable and fun to live with, and I learned as much as he did. The staff are skilled and professional, and the results exceeded my expectations. If you're on the fence about training with Mannered Mutts go for it. It is absolutely worth it."

“We had great success with Mannered Mutts Training for Cooper. So much so that we sent our Blossom also. We found them to be professional and our fur babies responded to the training wonderfully. We would highly recommend Mannered Mutts Training.”

"They are very patient and responsive trainers. They worked with us and our Border Collie to address some unwanted behaviors we couldn’t overcome on our own, mostly barking, jumping, and feeling comfortable around new dogs and people. They often have multiple approaches for each problem and will work to find what your dog is most responsive to. They thoroughly explained training techniques and took their time with us. You can tell they loves their work and it shows in how dogs respond to them in such a positive way. They were very flexible with our varied schedules and are really easy to work with. They're great and I highly recommend them  for all your dog training needs."

Transformations
Charlie

Charlie

Charlie completed a 4-week board and train program and some private lessons with us in March. His primary needs for training were due to aggression towards strangers, leash reactivity to people and dogs, and lack of manners and obedience. The first part of the video marked "before" is a benchmark of where Charlie was at prior to starting his training program. Fast forward to now and Charlie was a rockstar at group class! Check out the section of the video marked "now" to see him shine. Charlie is a dog who has absolutely transformed. He is showing the world how amazing and sweet he can be. We look forward to continuing his journey to being his best self he can be.
Moses

Moses

Moses spent two weeks in our board and train program before moving to our day school program. A private lesson occurred after the board and train to catch his owner up to speed with what he learned. This gave Moses and his owner the opportunity to transition what he learned with us to his home and his owner was able to work with him on the evenings and weekends while still lots of structure and training throughout the day to continue working towards his goals. Moses struggled with reactivity on leash, in the car and at some barriers towards strangers and dogs. He also needed work on obedience, did not come reliability when called and pulled like a freight train!
Opie

Opie

Opie Taylor the Poodle started training after he broke his owners arm in two places by pulling her down. His owners were considering making the heart wrenching decision to rehome him because they didn’t know how to control him and prevent future injuries. Look at Opie now being such a well mannered happy boy. This is the outcome everyone wanted. Dog keeps his home. Owner keeps their dog. I feel very privileged to have a job where I can help dogs and owners like this who love each other very much have a better relationship, learn to communicate, and help them stay together. Check out Opie’s before and after video above.
Harper & Bindi

Harper & Bindi

Australian Shepherds Harper (1 year old) and Bindi (6 months old) before and after completing their board and train with me. Checkout this video to see these girls transform from double trouble to well behaved rockstar pups. 🐶🐶💕
Cooper

Cooper

Cooper the Golden Retriever after completing his board and train program. He is still the same sweet, happy go lucky boy he was before training, but now his good boy manners and impulse control are off the charts! Check out his amazing transformation. 🐶
River

River

River The Weimaraner was absolutely transformed after completing her 4 week board and train. Check out her awesome before and after progress video.
Harper

Harper

Check out Harper the 11 month old Micro Labradoodle's before and after video after completing his three week board and train program with me. Harper pulled on a leash, was unfocused around distractions, didn’t come when called, had issues with potty training, and was uncomfortable being around most other dogs and kids without hiding behind owner. Harper has made great strides towards being his most well behaved confident self. Good boy!
