Training & Behavior Services
Premium Behavior and Training Services in the Greater-Seattle & Puget Sound Area, WA, USA
Our specialty is the companion dog in the family and home setting. We believe in providing exceptionally talented practitioners for owners wanting well-behaved, peaceful, fun-to-live-with, safe dogs and puppies.
All behavior and training services with boarding are conducted one on one, full time, with one of NWSCS's CCS-qualified trainers or behavior experts. Directed by Cristine Dahl, dogs and puppies are paired with the practitioner best suited for their individual needs, with each board & train program uniquely tailored to your family and lifestyle.
PUPPY WEEKDAY CAMP
The first 20 weeks of your puppy's life are packed with critical developmental milestones that will impact him for the rest of his life. He needs proper socializing and exposures, potty training, coaching for correct dog/dog interactions, alone and confidence training, basic manners, and foundational expectations.
Like most busy households today, you're time-starved and information overloaded but you still want your puppy to have the absolute best start to life.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
Satellite's Director is certified by the SPCA in humane methodology. As such,we do not use aversive tools or techniques such as pinch/prong, or e-collars, coercion, or intimidation. For more please see FAQs.
One practitioner is assigned to your dog/puppy 24/hrs a day for the duration of your program. No practitioner will have more than 2 dogs/puppies at a time in a current Board & Train Program
Satellite practitioners are exceptionally qualified in methodology and technique, with each having earned the esteemed Certificate in Canine Studies. Further, they are uniquely skilled in working with not only dogs, but their people.
