What makes our school different?
“We specialize in training family dogs in the home environment. Our home is pretty similar to yours: young kids, frequent guests, family walks… we believe that everyone in the home should be able to safely walk the dog.”
~ Angie Burlingame Owner & Head Trainer
Personalized Progress Videos
For each training milestone your pup achieves, our head trainer will document your dog’s progress on video and post it to our Facebook page for you to watch, Like and Share.
True-to-Life Training Environments
You’ll notice in our photos and videos that every minute of training takes place either in a real home environment (complete with adults, children and varying levels of activity and noise) or out in the real world. This change-of-pace tactic ensures your dog is learning and retaining new habits, even in some of the most distracting situations.
Uncompromising Care
When your dog joins our 2- or 3-week training programs, in our minds and in our hearts, they become our dog too. A maximum 7 dogs in training ensures a highly personalized quality of care that you won’t find elsewhere. Add to that: our specially designed & fully equipped dog cottage provides all the comforts of home away from home.Ready to take the first step?

SUCCESS STORY
Jim & Domino
“I can HIGHLY recommend A Dog’s Life for just about any of your training requirements. Angie is truly a miracle- worker. Or maybe I should say ‘dog whisperer’! With just a couple of two-week sessions, she tamed my hyperactive labradoodle into a much calmer and obedient companion. Domino is now a Reading with Rover therapy dog and enjoys sitting calmly while children read their favorite books to him. I can’t thank Angie enough for her positive and effective training approach. I doubt there’s an issue she can’t help with!”
SUCCESS STORY
COURTNEY & BUNNY
“We adopted Bunny on Labor Day and didn’t waste any time getting her into Angie’s loving care for training. Bunny has been home from A Dog’s Life for 5 days and the changes are remarkable. She is calm and confident, walks perfectly on a loose leash, stays when told and listens and reacts to our commands. Well worth the investment. Angie is a miracle worker!”
