“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.
Day Training
Drop your dog off for training weekday mornings and pick them up at the end of the work day. 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.
Daycare
Our enrichment-based approach blends safe social play with activities that engage your dog’s mind, body, and natural instincts.Daycare includes group play opportunities for the dog social pups and one-on-one enrichments or options for a day full of solo enrichments for pups who prefer their people time over play time with dogs.
Enrichment
Boarding
Your dog will stay overnight in one of our large boarding cabins and will be under the exceptional care of our training staff. We make sure that your dog has the proper exercise & socialization needed daily. We also have a wide array of enrichment exercises for your pups. We offer this for current and past training clients and/or clients who complete an evaluation with us.

“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.”
“Working with Jillian and her team has been truly life-changing for me and my dog. We have participated in a 4-week board and train, private lessons, and the monthly group lessons —and Jillian has been so engaged with him and what he needs every step of the way. I have learned as much as he has from Jillian and the team and, as a result, I feel confident in my ability to continue his training. He has made huge improvements in the behavioral issues that brought us to Mannered Mutts. I also love knowing that he can board with professionals who know him and love him whenever I am out of town. I cannot recommend Mannered Mutts highly enough!"
"Our Great Dane LOVES the staff and her visits. She LOVES her one-on-one training time and being the center of attention. We did four weeks day training. However, this past visit was her first time ever being away from home overnight. We did board and train “off leash” while we were on vacation. Our girl enjoyed herself so much. The staff sent us pictures and report cards throughout the week. Made us feel even more comfortable seeing how much fun she was having. I cant say “thank you” enough to the team!! You’re the best and our big girl loves you all! This Great Dane can’t wait to see you all again in October!!"
"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."
