Say Goodbye to Bad Habits – Dog Training for a Happier Home

We get it — we’ve been where you are. The wild dogs, the stubborn dogs, the ones that made you wonder if life would ever feel calm again.

That’s exactly why Train Play Live exists.

Since 2010, we’ve helped hundreds of families transform their dog’s behavior and bring peace back into their homes. Our approach isn’t just about teaching commands — it’s about creating a balanced lifestyle for your dog, where training, exercise, and structure work together.

From leash-pulling to reactivity, from brand-new puppies to dogs with years of bad habits — we’ve seen it all, and we know how to help. Because every dog deserves a chance to be their best, and every family deserves a dog they can truly enjoy.

REHABILITATING DOGS AND EDUCATING HUMANS

Having a special relationship with animals has always been a part of my life. They seem to trust and respect me as I do them. It is my mission to help dogs live a more balanced and happy life by improving their relationship and communication with the humans in their life.

Dogs give us a lot, their love, time, attention, loyalty, but often humans don't take the time to understand how to properly interact and communicate with them as dogs, (not humans), and cherished members of their pack.

My training centers around rehabilitating poor dog behavior that often stems from trauma or poor human interactions they have experienced, and helping their humans understand how to relate and communicate with them so they can enjoy their relationship in a supportive, loving pack.

What Type Of Training Methods Do You Use?

We use a balanced variety of methods across out training packages and programs. Our philosophy is that each dog is unique in their situation and environment, so we tailor our methods to best fit those needs. Our goal is to build a consistent structure and bond between dogs and their humans for maximum harmony in the home!

Is Training Necessary?

With a properly trained dog, you can rest assured that they will be well behaved no matter the situation. Whether there’s guests coming over or you’re just out for a walk, you can have full control over your pet. While dogs will always be people’s best friends, a well behaved K9 is sure to impress your friends and family and keep your home peaceful.
