Mission Statement
Our mission is to enhance the human-dog relationship by educating owners and
advocating dog-friendly training. At the same time, we endorse continued education
and learning so we may provide instructors of the highest caliber.
Reward-based Training
Reward-based training not only encourages the dog to learn, but also fosters a stronger bond between the dog and the owner.
About All Things DOG Obedience Group
Helping Dogs and Families Thrive — Together
Life with a dog is supposed to feel joyful, connected, and peaceful — not stressful or confusing. Our goal is to help families build calm, confident dogs who understand what’s expected of them and feel truly part of everyday life.
We don’t just teach obedience commands.
We teach communication, practical skills, and real-life problem solving — so you and your dog can relax together instead of struggling against each other.
Whether you’re starting fresh with a puppy, rebuilding foundations, or working through behavior challenges, we meet you where you are and help you build forward.
Training shouldn’t just help dogs behave.
It should help dogs and families thrive — together.
WE believe owners deserve training that is understandable, doable and encourageing. Back in 1992 D.O.G.’s founders Jane and Al Boeck wanted to provide a positive training experience for dogs and owners alike and we are proud to be able to carry that foward still today.
What makes All Things DOG different?
We Believe Training Should Be:
✔ supportive and non-judgmental
✔ practical and real-life focused
✔ a balance of rewards, structure, and clarity
✔ paced for both dog AND human success
✔ built to create long-term habits — not quick fixes
We believe dogs do best when they know what to do, feel supported, have structure and clear expectations.
What is reward-based training?
Reward-based dog training means that the dog is rewarded for doing something the owner has asked of them, usually with a treat or a favorite toy. Rewards make the dog more likely to repeat the desired behavior and are one of the most powerful training tools. As the dog begins to learn what is expected, the treats are phased out and replaced with praise.

The team of trainers at D.O.G. are simply fantastic. The classes are plentiful and their prices are a bargain for the attentiveness to detail and the expertise that’s displayed at each and every level. When we first heard of D.O.G. my wife, myself and our 12 week old Great Dane just stopped by and spoke to the owner (Chris) who thoroughly impressed me. I recommend this team at D.O.G. and speak highly of them any chance I get.

I have an 18 month female gsd who was somewhat timid and extremely dog reactive. Since taking private lessons with Chris, we (because he trained us both) have developed a bond that is just amazing. Chris has taught me how to be the leader, and now with his help, she has become a different dog. Less fearful in public, we go to bass pro now, and she is becoming less dog reactive. The staff at DOG are very personable and extremely helpful. Chris is an extremely knowledgeable trainer who truly understands dog’s, all shapes and sizes! It is amazing to learn from him how to read your dog’s actions and reactions, which in turn helps you teaching your dog. The results have been AMAZING! Thanks Chris and the DOG staff!

“I think you have the best instructors, too. And when I told my friends at work what happened with Ezra over the weekend, and that you called me, they were blown away. Not me, I’ve come to expect such great care from you and Jane!”

Max and I have been taking this class for a while now and love it. Chris has helped Max so much and has helped me learn the confidence I needed to know how to help Max learn to be calm in all types of situations. I would highly recommend taking at least one if not more private classes even if you have a well behaved dog. Learning your dog’s strengths and weaknesses will help set you up for a lifetime of success.

Me and my dogs have been taking class for about a year now from puppy classes, obedience to rally obedience and a couple of private classes for my “Diva” dog. They always go above and beyond to help with questions and training. They always respond quickly to emails and voicemail. The owner and staff there are very professional and caring and take the time to know you and your dog no matter how may or few are in a class. You will also meet a lot of nice people and dogs there. I will be going there for many years to come.
