No Pain, No Force, No fear
Private 1-2-1 In Home Dog Training
(All Private Training starts with a free phone consultation)
At Cultured Canines of Tampa, every training program is custom-created to meet the unique needs of both the dog and the owner. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—because every dog is different, and so is every home. Using only positive reinforcement and force-free methods, I design each plan to address your specific goals, challenges, and lifestyle. These personalized programs start at 4 weeks long, with one 60-minute session per week, allowing time for meaningful progress, practice, and support.
Training can focus on a wide range of goals, including:
🐾 Leash manners and polite walking
🐾 Reducing reactivity toward people, dogs, or distractions
🐾 Greeting guests calmly
🐾 Basic obedience like sit, stay, come, and settle
🐾 Confidence-building for shy or anxious dogs
🐾 Addressing nuisance behaviors like jumping, barking, or pulling
Whether you're working through behavioral challenges or building a solid foundation for a new pup, your training journey is tailored to ensure long-lasting results rooted in trust, clarity, and communication.
AKC Canine Good Citizen - This 6 week class that meets for one hour a week is designed for your dog to be able to pass the AKC CGC Evaluation. CGC is a ten-skill training program that’s open to all dogs–purebred and mixed breed–that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community. (Two classes will be in a public setting to enable your dog to work through cues in a distraction "Real World" environment).
After mastering the ten skills, passing the CGC test together, and taking the Responsible Dog Ownership pledge, you and your pup will join the proud ranks of over 1 million dogs who have earned their Canine Good Citizen award– accomplishment that’s definitely worthy of extra belly rubs! You and your CGC certified dog can walk proudly with confidence in the Tampa area or anywhere you travel.
AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluation Testing with Recognition Ribbon is included.
Before classes can start all dogs must have proof of proper vaccinations from a licensed veterinarian which will include:
Distemper, parainfluenza, parvovirus, bordatella and by 16 weeks old have rabies vaccine. (vaccines done by a breeder or yourself are not accepted)
Walk & Train
Does your dog pull while on a leash?
Is your dog constantly distracted on your walks?
Are you feeling frustrated while trying to enjoy walking your dog?
If you answered YES! to any or all of these questions I can help!
Our Walk & Train Program was specifically designed for your very busy life. Our top priority with this program is getting your dog to understand that not pulling will yield a higher reward. Utilizing only Positive Reinforcement Training, this customized program will be focused on training your dog to not pull on the leash, focus on YOU! and help him to walk easily by your side.
Walking politely on a leash is hard for most dogs. They pull because they are excited and eager to GO on that walk and quite frankly- they have no idea they are not supposed to pull! Routine and consistent practice is the best way to get your dog to understand what you want from him. Our sessions will help you ease the stress of having an over excited dog, help your dog become reliable with his behavior and change your walks from stressful to enjoyable! Details will be provided for you to follow up and practice on your own too. Want to see the action? We can send you pictures of their progress! Just ask!
