Welcome to Dog Cabin Ranch Training & Behavior

Welcome to Dog Cabin Ranch Training & Behavior

At Dog Cabin Ranch Training & Behavior, we believe that behavior is communication — not defiance, dominance, or disobedience. Every dog, regardless of age, background, or challenges, deserves training that is rooted in understanding, clarity, and respect.

We work with all dogs, from puppies building their foundation to adult dogs navigating behavior challenges. We have particular experience with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs, but our approach benefits every dog: lowering stress, building confidence, and creating clear, reliable communication between dog and human.

Training at Dog Cabin Ranch is not about forcing compliance. It’s about teaching dogs how to feel safe enough to learn while helping humans become calm, consistent guides. Set in a quiet, rural ranch environment, dogs are given the space to decompress, focus, and progress at a pace that supports long-term success.

Whether you’re starting fresh, working through challenges, or strengthening an existing bond, our goal remains the same — to build trust, clarity, and lasting change.

Does Your Dog?

  • Pull on their leash
  • Bark uncontrollably when people or dogs pass by
  • Ignore you when you call them
  • Jump on you or other people when they get excited
  • Nip at you 
  • Show aggression with other people or dogs
  • Have separation anxiety
  • Chew and/or dig destructively 
  • Act crazy when visitors arrive at your home
  • Pee or poop in the house

At Dog Cabin Ranch Training and Behavior, we believe in balanced training techniques that lead to practical results. Our methods focus on building a strong bond between you and your dog while addressing behavioral issues effectively.  Each dog is unique, and each dog issue is unique, and we train that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What training methods do you use?
We use a combination of positive reinforcement and correction techniques to achieve balanced training results.

How long are the training sessions?

Lesson one is an evaluation with training, so it lasts about one hour. Training sessions from then on are typically 30 - 45 minutes long.

Do you offer group classes or private sessions?

We offer both group classes and private lessons to cater to the individual needs and preferences of our clients.

Currently, we do not have any group classes scheduled.  Please email if you interested and we will schedule accordinlgly.

Do I have to do the Canine Good Citizen Test?

No, you do not have to take the Canine Good Citizen Test. The classes are structured around the CGC because it is an excellent training format that includes basic obedience while addressing problem issues.  Some people want to take the test, and others want to do the training.  It is entirely up to you.

What if i just need help with one specific issue and do not need Basic Obedience?

Many problems disappear once you start obedience training with your dog.  It is amazing how, once you begin to change the dynamic between you and your dog through training, your dog's behavior begins to change.  That said, if you only want to address the specific problem issue, you can do one training session.  We will do the best we can to help you get the situation under control in that one session.

Will I be expected to train on my own? If so, how often?

Yes, after each training session, you will have an assignment to work on for the following week.   We recommend 10 - 15 minutes once or twice a day.  The time will depend on your dog's age and how much training works for your dog.  This type of training makes your dog think and wears them out quickly.  We always want to end on a good note, so most dogs do well with about 15 minutes.  You will learn to read your dog and know when to stop training.
