Joyce's Dog Obedience Services, a Seattle-area dog trainer specializing in positive reinforcement techniques and serving the Seattle, North King County and Snohomish area.

Joyce's Dogs expands to Woodinville!



We are new to Woodinville but not to dog and people training. We provide quality instruction that considers the human learner as well as the dog. The list of currently available Woodinville classes is below.

Our instructors have experienced a wide range of dog training techniques and philosophies over the years. Since 2004, our training has been modeled after the training research and success of the "Choose to Heel" foundation work developed by Dawn Jecs.

If you're looking for leadership (not dominance) based training and/or behavior problem-solving help for you and your dog, look no further. You will learn unique training tools to teach your dog to pay attention to you even with significant distractions present. Our mission is to begin by setting up handler and dog for maximum success and to progress training at a rate that assures continued success in the face of distractions that may have previously caused significant behavior problems. We teach using positive reinforcement only, rather than punishment.

We will show you how to develop a trusting and cooperative relationship with your dog and get the foundation needed to live happily with your pet. If your interests lie in the pursuit of canine sports activities, this foundation provides a solid start. Check out our website to learn more about our training philosophy and what we offer. If you're in doubt, check out Dawn's most basic training book "Simply Living With Your Dog" at www.dogwise.com.
