Well-behaved dogs make for happy dog owners.
Happy, well-behaved dogs can bring great joy to a home. But an unruly pup or overly aggressive dog can make life miserable. Whether you need help in teaching your pooch basic commands and good behavior, or if you've got a dog with more serious issues, a professional may be able to offer assistance.

MyTDog
If you're interested in basic dog training focusing on commands such as sit, down, stay, etc., MyTDog promises results in four weeks with its remote-collar training program. Owner/trainer Sue Barnes and business partner Kris Rose serve clients in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Coon Rapids and Kansas City. In addition to basic group classes, there's a 10- to 14-day individualized board and train program. You drop off your dog and they return a well-trained pooch to you. MyTDog then works with you and the dog to understand the training.
The company also offers agility and hunting training and is involved in the Dock Dog competition world, in which dogs compete by leaping off a dock into water. MyTDog offers a training warranty which allows you to attend a future class if you and your dog need a brush-up.
