We are Simpawtico Dog Training

We believe that training and behavior are technologies.

We’re here to help you hack those technologies so you can experience a happier life with your dog.

We use research-based methods and train at industry standards. Our trainers are all educated and experienced. Simpawtico as an organization adheres to LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) and The Humane Hierarchy. We constantly engage in professional development to stay up-to-date with the latest science in canine learning, behavior, and training methodologies. Our team believes that training doesn’t need to be painful or scary, even when we’re helping your dog with big behaviors.

YOU can create a loving bond, an enthusiastic learner, and a trusted partner…we’ll show you how!

          What People Say About Working With Us

          We were blown away by Murphy's "transformation" even after the first few classes. You gave us the tools that we needed as dog owners to build upon and we're excited to continue with the next level class. Murph might not be the most well behaved dog but we can definitely see a difference and we can't thank you enough, Ian!

          Hannah’s approach to dog training is clearly the result of blending her vast training skills with her extensive knowledge of the brain and nervous system. Add in her calm, grounded, caring demeanor and you have a winning combination. Whether it is a one-on-one training session or a group class, Hannah offers an encouraging and enriching experience. She kindly explains why we train the way we do, how to strengthen the connection between one another while creating a strong foundation of understanding and teamwork. During our one-on-one session with Hannah, she assessed behavioral triggers, pinpointed the root cause, used them as learning opportunities for both of us, and suggested various strategies to implement in the future. We are so grateful for her supportive guidance! She is a phenomenal addition to the Simpawtico team!

          My pups love Juliana and not just because of her magical pocket of never-ending treats! She is like a bright ray of sunshine. Her sweet, calm, and patient nature creates a wonderful learning environment for both the pups and their humans. We are grateful for her skills, compassion, and knowledge that she is always willing to share with us.
