What we’re about

Partnership And Trust Here (PATH) Dog Training & Behavior - Welcome!

This group is founded and hosted by animal behaviorist and dog trainer, Ash Miner, a professional trainer since 2008, who holds dual Master's degrees in Animal Behavior for canines, felines, and equines from the accredited Unity Environmental University.

PATH offers regular in-person and online events. For in-person events, we have:

  1. Weekly PACT Dog Training Classes for obedience & manners (mild-moderately reactive dogs welcome) - Sundays at 9am
  2. Monthly Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Practice Day + Testing - Sunday at 10:15am

Ash is certified by the American Kennel Club (AKC) to administer the 3 levels of CGC tests, as well as trick dog titles.

Rules & Tools:

  1. No flexi leashes, 4'-6' standard leashes only
  2. No punitive tools (prong, stim/shock/vibrate/beep collars, etc.) as these are banned from CGC testing by AKC rules & regulations
  3. Bring extra tasty rewards (string cheese, hot dogs, meaty jerky, plain meatballs, etc.) in a treat pouch
  4. Arrive 15mins early to let your dog sniff and get their sillies out
  5. Your dog must fulfill the prerequisites of the in-person meetups in order to attend. If you're not ready yet, Ash is absolutely willing to help fast-track you into your desired event.

Rescue Organizations!
If your foster family would like to bring a dog for adoption to any of these events, Ash welcomes them for free until they are adopted, and then the adoptive family can have 1 free class as well.
