We faced tons of challenges with our rescue Beagle, Luigi — pulling, potty issues, zero focus. After just a few weeks in the program, we saw huge progress. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend Train Play Live!

Hank was a total disaster — pulling, jumping, and overpowering us. After working with Train Play Live, he’s a completely different dog. No more leash chaos or injuries — just a well-behaved boy everyone is amazed by!

Life With Your Dog Doesn’t Have to Be This Hard.

Right now, your dog might be pulling you down the street, ignoring your commands, or causing chaos at home — and you’re wondering if anything will actually work. We get it.

At Train Play Live, we believe dogs should make life better — not more stressful. That’s why we do more than just teach commands. We help families truly enjoy life with their dogs again — on walks, at the park, at home, and everywhere in between.

Whether you’ve got a wild puppy, a friendly-but-overwhelming “goofball,” or a fearful and reactive dog, we’ve seen it all — and we know how to help.

Our favorite part? That moment when clients look at their dog and say, “Are you sure this is my dog?”
That’s what we’re here for — the transformation that changes everything.
