What We Do

Shared Joy Dog Training offers on-site dog training to families and animal shelters. We believe that building a solid foundation of good communication starts with training rooted in positive reinforcement. Families strengthen trust and deepen their bond with their dogs through these reward-based training techniques. 

Adding a new dog to the family can be a daunting task. Utilize Shared Joy Dog Training as a matchmaker for your new family member!  With a trained eye for shelter dog behavior, Shared Joy Dog Training can assist in choosing a rescue dog that best suits your family’s lifestyle and help transition them into your home.
