Force-Free Dog Training Pittsburgh: Unlock Your Dog's Full Potential
Adding a dog to your home brings plenty of joy, but it can also come with its own set of challenges. Our goal is to support you and your dog with training that fits your unique needs. If you’re working through puppy basics, building better manners, or thinking about next steps like certification, I’m here to help you both succeed.
Reward-Based Science to Help Your Dog Thrive
The dog training industry lacks regulation, making it challenging for dog guardians to find trustworthy help amid misinformation and outdated methods. At Two Dads Dog Training, we embrace the latest advancements in dog behavior by aligning our philosophy and techniques with the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB). This esteemed organization, composed of veterinarians and doctoral-level animal behaviorists, strongly advocates reward-based learning, which not only promotes optimal welfare for dogs but also enhances their learning experience.
Reward-based dog training methods also foster a deeper connection between humans and their canine companions.
At Two Dads Dog Training, we implement a mix of techniques such as capturing, luring, and shaping to teach dogs desired behaviors effectively. We also incorporate training markers, like clickers or verbal cues, to refine the training process and ensure success.
Trust us to provide a compassionate, science-based approach that benefits both you and your dog!

My 2 yr old pup has anxiety/fear of lots of things. Michael helped me understand how working with my pup will get me closer to putting him at ease . It’s a slow process but I already see improvement in a few short weeks.

Seen Michael & Luis multiple times for my french bulldog. We have done group classes and privates sessions at home. These guys are excellent at what they do and what seems to be impossible to teach, they make happen! I have told friends and family about 2 dads and highly recommend!
