Advanced Handling

Thank you for your interest in our training center. We have been helping families train their dogs for 30 years. During that time we’ve helped train thousands and thousands of dogs and their families. We hope that you choose Family Dog for all your dog training needs!
(Please note that there is only one Family Dog Training Center. Our business was started in 1979 by Kathy Lang).

We offer a wide variety of classes for all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs (regardless of pedigree!), as well as private lessons, seminars and workshops in our 8,300 square-foot main facility in Kent, We also have satellite facilities in Kent/Covington at Reber Ranch, Auburn/Algona at Primo Pet Care, and Fido's Farm in Olympia.

Group classes are limited in size to ensure individual attention. Our average class size is 7 dogs. Family members, including well-behaved children, are encouraged to attend class and participate with the dog. Instructors are available by phone and email to answer their students’ questions and help with problems. Because many of our clients have multiple dogs, or take multiple classes with one dog, we offer a discount for additional dogs and/or classes on our 7-week sessions. (Note: Discount applies to dogs and/or classes from the same household when 7-week sessions of classes are taken concurrently & are paid for at the same time.)
