Results & Pawformance Puppy & Dog Training Classes and Lessons


Welcome and a warning! Training here may be addicting, we have fun!


Shy Pet? Getting Sass? Bored Pet? In need of a 'brush up'? It's time for class!

New Puppy? See class information below. Others with a pet too old for Puppy Class, call me to arrange a Meet & Greet".
Reach out before little issues (example - puppy sass nipping) becomes a major problem. Most issues do not go away as a pet ages...
We can meet each other here and discuss possible training options here at my training center.


NEW to Results - Pawformance? Veternarian or Trainer Referral?

Please read my Program and Class Information page, a link is at the top of this page.
Then read below then call me! Contact information is at bottom of this page. : )

Note! You must be able to physically handle your new pet as due to past knee issues,
I am no longer able to handle very large, strong dogs that are constantly pulling.
As always, no biting pets. Puppy sass is ok... ; )
If your pet has serious behavioral issues or is aggressive, please be considerate
and get your pet help by another. Thank you.
