Meet & Greet
All obedience training begins with a free evaluation and meet and greet with your dog and family. We value involving the entire family in the training experience so all family members can reinforce training techniques.
a message from rita...
I created B.A.D. Dogs Welcome because, as a vet technician, I saw far too many dogs euthanized because they had never received proper training and care to live with humans. These dogs are labeled as aggressive, fear biters, and dangerous. Through years of training dogs, I have developed an innovative system that can rehabilitate the most difficult dogs, and help improve the behavior of the gentlest dogs. The mission of B.A.D. Dogs Welcome is to give dogs and their humans the skills and knowledge to happily live together as a family.

B.A.D. Dogs Welcome has cared for our family's dogs for 10 years. Our trainer, Rita, is our dogs' favorite human! They wait for Rita to arrive for their play date every Thursday morning.
One of our dogs, Calvin, was aggressive toward other dogs when he came to us from a rescue. Rita's work with him has improved his socialization, which means he can now enjoy dog walks, hikes and going to the dog park with other dogs.
