Dog Training for
the
Real World

A dependable training program that empowers your dog to function as a responsible citizen in the real world

Well-behaved dog = happy owner

Even if your dog seems perfect, training can help him or her sail through life's stresses. Whether your pup is a nervous rescue or a pampered purebred, he or she needs dog training that will help them overcome any issues and thrive in a world of distractions. Our dogs deserve the same quality of education we provide for our two-legged kids. Our resident dog trainer, Jayme Feary, has a reputation for turning out stable, balanced dogs. When you enroll your dog in a Woofers Canine College course, your dog will graduate with a degree in living life well.

Specialized Dog Training for Behavioral Challenges

We specialize in solving behavior problems such as barking and whining, marking, house training, pulling on the leash, jumping on people, digging, ignoring, and other issues. If your dog needs rehabilitation, it’s always best to call us first to discuss your situation. After our conversation, we’ll schedule a no-cost, in-person evaluation, after which we’ll prescribe a training plan including the cost.

Telephone/Zoom Dog Training - $85/session

When you can’t come to our Sturgis, SD location, we can come to you through the phone or Internet. Whether you just want to learn to teach your dog to sit and stay or train your dog not to pull on his or her leash, distance sessions can help you conquer your dog’s various challenges.

Head Trainer
Woofers Canine College

Jayme Feary

Our trainer, Jayme Feary, has worked with clients coast to coast. He has taught animal shelters how to foster a quiet, calm environment so potential adopters will spend more time perusing animals. In his former community he was a go-to trainer for dogs no one else could help. Judges would sometimes turn to him as a last resort before deciding to euthanize a dog.

Jayme is known for his practical, real-world techniques and his post-training support for dog owners so they feel empowered to keep their dogs moving forward. Because of his unique approach, he requires owners and their dogs meet with him in person before agreeing to take a dog into training.

Jayme's tight schedule means his training slots are limited, so we always suggest people plan ahead as far as possible.

He is here to help however he can. Give him a call and let him know your needs.

2. Safe, effective training that turns any dog into an ideal citizen

Effective training relies heavily on the confidence of the owner. Through Woofers training, you will learn how to command good behavior and your dog will learn to obey the first time, every time — in any situation.

3. Communication and coaching that will turn you into a confident pet parent

We don’t just train your dog and turn you loose; our training method educates you to be an effective handler that can handle all kinds of situations, with training tips that work in the real world.
