Certified Dog Trainers in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Longsnouts does dog training a little differently! How? We focus on building a strong, engaged, FUN relationship with our dogs, so that manners can be (more) naturally folded in. Relationships are dialogues, with clarity being a key component. We offer class, one-on-one, and in-home opportunities. Classes include a variety of manners-based (polite walking, recalls, basic manners, Urban Manners, Moments of Pause, etc.) and sniffy options (Barn Hunt, Nosework, Shed Hunt, Farm Walks, and more). We can even take your dogs for Adventure Outings, as well as help with a wide variety of in-home behaviors. Be in touch to see how Longsnouts can best help!

Moved from NC to Ann Arbor in early 2026--Hello!Over 20 years as a professional in canine behavior, manners, sports, and tricks. All-positive approach, with no force/pain/intimidation, because it is humane, *and science shows it works better* --- for all species, including dogs and people! As with zoo and animal entertainment trainers, the pet training industry is finally coalescing around this fact, despite the current backlash from those who rely on shock, prong, and choke collars. Because I am committed to and enjoy continuing education, you and your dog will benefit from the most effective and innovative techniques. Best of all: The "training game" is FUN for you and your dog! Treetown Dog Training offers private in-home training for clients in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan.
