About Us
Collaborative Dog Training is based in Sun Prairie, WI, proudly serving the greater Madison area. Our goal is to help you cultivate a stronger, more intuitive connection with your dog. Grounded in the science of behaviorism and ethology, our training approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each dog.
At Collaborative Dog Training, we view the relationship between humans and dogs as a mutually beneficial partnership—a true collaboration between two species. By nurturing this bond, we strive to enhance daily interactions and communication, leading to a deeper and more fulfilling connection between you and your dog.
