At Always Faithful Dog Training, we believe that every dog, no matter the breed, size, or age, can learn and thrive with the right approach. Our signature AFDT Leadership Training method works for all dogs because it taps into the natural instincts that make dogs pack-oriented animals.
Training Every Breed
Some training methods only work for certain types of dogs, but the AFDT method is different. Whether you have a tiny Chihuahua, a large German Shepherd, or a spirited Husky, our approach adapts to each dog’s personality and natural instincts. By focusing on leadership and communication rather than treats, clickers, or shock collars, we create a learning environment that works for every dog.
Training Dogs of Any Age
From the youngest puppy to senior dogs, our programs are designed to meet your dog where they are. Puppy training starts as early as 8 weeks, helping your dog develop obedience, social skills, and confidence from the very start. For older dogs, there is no upper age limit — as long as your dog is healthy enough to train, we can help them learn new behaviors, correct undesirable habits, and strengthen your bond.
Why Leadership Training Works
Dogs naturally look for a pack leader. When that role is unclear, they may display behaviors like jumping, leash pulling, excessive barking, or anxiety. Our leadership-based training teaches you how to become a calm and confident pack leader, which naturally motivates your dog to follow and respond. This method is not only effective but also positive and safe — endorsed by animal behavior specialists and backed by thousands of successful client stories.
Programs for Every Need
No matter your dog’s age or breed, we offer a variety of programs, from beginner obedience and behavior modificationto therapy and service dog training. Each program is tailored to your dog’s unique personality, ensuring that every session is productive and meaningful.
