Millions of pets have adapted to city living, but we often have to get creative when it comes to socialization, training, and behavior modification in the bustling city. Urban Wolves Dog Training will create a training plan specific to your dog’s needs and daily environment.
Private training for you and your dog, with you present. Both you and the trainer will be engaged in handling the dog during training exercises.
A training option for those with a busy schedule, as well as for dogs who benefit from consistent, behavior-informed handling. The trainer is the primary handler during these training sessions, coming into your home with or without you present.
A training session utilizing a neutral “helper dog”.

The first half of the session will consist of discussing your dog’s history, current behaviors, and daily routine. We’ll also discuss your training goals and measurements of progress.
The second half will consist of hands-on, active behavior modification. The trainer will demonstrate (within the dog’s comfort level) and coach you through the training exercises. You’ll get a training summary and homework emailed to you within a week.
The first session is 60 to 90 minutes long; follow-up sessions will typically be 60 minutes long.
We address everything from basic manners & socialization, to more serious concerns such as leash reactivity, urban anxiety, aggression towards people or dogs, separation anxiety, and more.
Your trainer can advise you better once they have met your dog in person. Generally, you should expect to see progress with three to five consistent training sessions.
Progress is most dependent on your consistent follow-through of the training exercises.
We employ a variety of training methods, but the primary one is called L.I.M.A. – Least Invastive, Minimally Intrustive. This means that the foundation of our training is positive reinforcement, but we ultimately seek out the most effective, efficient, and humane methods. Click here to read more about L.I.M.A.
We also will meet you where you are with equipment – we understand that safety is a priority when handling dogs, especially in the city. So we will work with the tools you currently have, and suggest any possible alternatives.
