Welcome to
Tri-Dog Solutions
Dog Training + Human Coaching
Real World Dog Training for Real Life Moments: from
Montco to the Main Line and beyond
Let’s be honest; raising a dog in the Philly suburbs can be
a lot. We’ve been right where you are; navigating the
"zoom-call barking fits," the pulled shoulders on the Schuylkill
River Trail, the puppy who somehow gets wilder the more tired
they are, and that feeling of just wanting to enjoy a peaceful walk
around your neighborhood.
We get it, you can love your dog deeply and still be frustrated by life with them sometimes.
At Tri-Dog Solutions, we aren't interested in quick-fix bandaids that fall off the minute we leave your driveway. We take a whole-dog approach to understand why the behavior is happening, build the skills your dog is missing, and help create patterns that actually work in everyday life.
We provide in-home dog training, Day School training and Stay & Train programs for puppies and adult dogs throughout Montgomery County, the Main Line and the Philadelphia suburbs, with support for everything from puppy chaos and leash pulling to reactivity, confidence building, recall and learning how to just... settle.
Because the goal isn’t a perfect dog. It’s getting back to enjoying life with the dog at the other end of the leash.
Ready for life together to feel a little bit easier?
or, have questions or want to make sure we're a good fit first?
We train dogs, and coach the humans who love them.
Whether you're raising a puppy, dealing with reactivity, wishing walks felt a little less stressful, or simply trying to understand why your dog seems to have two entirely different personalities inside and outside your house, we look at more than the behavior you're trying to stop.
We look at the dog in front of us.
Their routine. Their needs. Their adrenaline level. Their skill set. Their environment. And the communication happening between the two of you.
Then we train the dog and teach you how to carry that work into your actual life.
Because it doesn't matter what we can do with your dog if you don't know how to do it too.
Find The Right Program
Same thoughtful, customized training just different levels of support depending on what you and your dog need.
There isn't one “best” dog training program.
Some families want to learn alongside their dog every step of the way. Some could really use help getting more of the repetitions in. And sometimes a dog benefits from a more immersive stretch of training. Our private lessons, Day School and Stay & Train programs simply give you different levels of hands-on trainer support, without losing the owner coaching that helps everything transfer into real life.

Want to learn how to do this together?
Forget the sterile training facility. We come to you, in your kitchen, around your neighborhood, or wherever real life tends to fall apart.
Your training plan is built around your dog, your family and what you actually want help with, whether that’s puppy training, leash walking, recall, barking, manners, settling, reactivity or confidence.
And because you’re training alongside us, you’ll learn how to use those skills in the moments that actually matter.

Need some help getting more of the repetitions in?
Your dog spends structured days with our trainers working on individual goals while also getting appropriate movement,
enrichment, thoughtful socialization, real-world exposure and something we think is wildly underrated: rest.
We can put in a lot of the repetitions for you, but weekly owner coaching makes sure what your dog learns here actually makes sense to you at home too.

Need us to do more of the initial heavy lifting?
Stay & Train gives us concentrated time to build skills, change patterns and put a lot of good repetitions under your dog’s belt in a safe, structured environment.
But the goal isn’t to hand you back a “completely trained” dog. We can build a strong foundation and help your dog become more confident and fluent in the skills we’re teaching. Then we coach you on how to carry that work forward once they’re home.
This isn't boot camp, it's an immersive head start, and then we keep building together.
Best for: Puppies and adult dogs who benefit from a more immersive level of training support, or families who want to combine training with an upcoming trip.

We Train Your Dog and Coach You Because Both Matter
Some of our programs let us take on more of the hands-on work upfront, but your dog still has to come home to your routines, neighborhood and family.
That’s why owner coaching is part of every Tri-Dog training program.
We’ll help you understand what your dog is learning, how we communicate with them and how to keep those skills growing at home.
Because no dog comes through training “finished.”
Training isn’t something your dog graduates from. It’s something you keep building together. And when both ends of the leash understand what’s happening, the work becomes a whole lot more useful, and a lot easier to carry into real life.
Our Whole-Dog Training Approach: The LEASH Framework™
Behavior Doesn’t Happen in a Vacuum
When your dog is barking, pulling, reacting or bouncing off the walls, it’s easy to focus on one question:
How do I make them stop?
Sometimes we just need to train the dang dog.
Other times, we need to look at the bigger picture
That’s why we use our LEASH Framework™:
Life Rhythm & Health, Enrichment & Fulfillment, Arousal Regulation, Skills & Communication, and Human Connection.
It helps us look beyond one behavior and figure out what your dog, and your life together, actually need to feel better.
We believe great training supports the whole dog. That’s why our approach focuses on more than just obedience! We help you and your dog build trust, meet each other’s needs, and grow as a team.
Our coaching emphasizes:
Training
Training that’s clear, compassionate, realistic, and tailored to real life
Fulfillment
Fulfilling our dog's instinctual and biological needs via play, adventure, and mental enrichment
Your Bond
Bond-building rooted in communication, empathy and mutual understanding
Real Dogs. Real Families. Real Progress.
I don’t even know where to begin, but Alyssa and Dana are PHENOMENAL trainers and people!! They took our very smart (often too smart), silly miniature poodle, Waffles, from a chaotic, reactive puppy to a calm, secure and chill guy.
What I loved most is that they tailored their approach based on what Waffles needed and were able to pivot when something didn’t necessarily work for him. Both have been so responsive over text while we practiced at home with our dog. Their coaching was so tangible and kind and patient, and they set us all up for success.
Prior to Tri Dog, Waffles would be barking and couldn’t keep calm while I worked at home, and now it’s been a night and day difference after a few weeks!

We can tell you what we believe all day long, but sometimes it means more to hear from someone who once stood exactly where you are now, loving their dog, struggling with something, and wondering whether life together could actually feel different.

Train, Grow, Enjoy
