Dog Training Programs in Gardner, MA and Throughout Massachusetts

Side Quest Dog Training offers customized dog training programs for owners in Gardner, MA, Greater Boston, and surrounding areas. Whether you need private dog training lessons, day training, ], home-school training, AKC title testing, or a hybrid training program, we tailor every plan to your dog’s behavior, temperament, and your lifestyle goals.

Private Dog Training Lessons

Our private lessons are ideal for dog owners who want hands-on coaching and a customized plan for obedience training, reactive dog training, aggression rehabilitation, puppy training, and off-leash reliability.

Day Training for Busy Dog Owners

Day training allows your dog to receive professional training during the day while returning home each evening. This is a great option for families who want faster progress without committing to a full board and train program.

Home-School Training Programs

Home-school programs combine the convenience of professional training with the comfort of your dog staying in their familiar environment. We do the training and then transfer the skills to you.

AKC Title Testing

We offer testing for American Kennel Club titles including Canine Good Citizen (CGC), CGCA, CGCU, and S.T.A.R. Puppy.

Hybrid Dog Training Programs

Hybrid programs combine private lessons with day training to provide the right balance of professional training and owner education.

Group Classes

We’re working to expand our programs. Currently group classes are only available to current clients. Stay tuned.
