We are happy to announce our partnership with RSU 18 Mid-Maine Regional Adult Community Education! Through this partnership, Maximillion Dog Training will be providing enrichment dog classes to a larger community right here in Central Maine.

This afternoon, Martina kicked off a Level One: Basic Obedience & Foundations Group Class with a special Orientation for the humans before any leashes went on. Because good training starts with understanding how dogs think and learn.

We covered:
•How dogs actually process information and learn new skills
•Ways to engage your dog so training is fun, not frustrating
•Important basic obedience topics like focus, impulse control, and clear communication
•Common concerns we see with adolescent and adult dogs

The dogs weren’t even in the room yet, and the lightbulbs were already going off for their owners. When the humans understand the “why,” the training goes so much smoother for the dogs. Want to join a group class?
We will have another group class happening this fall through RSU 18 Adult Education.

BUT if you are looking for a group class sooner, we also have a summer group class taking place in Pittsfield and an outdoor agility day that’s not through the school system.

Check out our website for dates, details, and registration for both. While you’re there, make sure to subscribe to our free monthly newsletter — it’s the best way to get up-to-date info on upcoming group classes, tips, and openings before they fill.

📩 INBOX SPOTLIGHT: We get a lot of emails. This one made our whole team laugh and nod, because we’ve been there. When your 8 week old puppy turns into a prison break movie star the second you leave the room, it’s exhausting. The barking. The food redecorating. The water dish excavation project to China.

First, if this is you: you haven’t broken your puppy. At 8 weeks this is normal puppy panic, not a life sentence of separation anxiety. Second, your puppy just needs a solid training plan.

This is exactly what we help families with at Maximillion Dog Training. Crate training is one of the most common reasons people call us, especially with young puppies. We teach you how to build calm, confidence, and independence step-by-step so you can leave the room or leave for work — without the theatrics.

What we offer:
🐾 3-Level Obedience Programs: From puppy basics to advanced reliability
🐾 Private Customized Training: One-on-one sessions built around your dog, your home, and your goals
🐾 Group Classes: Real-world skills with built-in distractions and socialization
🐾 Behavior Modification: For separation issues, reactivity, resource guarding, and more

Every plan includes hands-on coaching + take-home packets so you know exactly what to do between sessions. Training is available at our Oakland studio or in your home. If your puppy turns into a loud alarm when you disappear, we’ve got you. No judgment. No exorcisms required. Just positive, practical training that works. 🤎

Seven weeks ago Bruce started his in-home training journey. Today, he’s officially a Maximillion Dog Training graduate and we could not be prouder!🤩

Bruce and his family put in the work every single week, and it shows. Together we built a custom obedience plan focused on exactly what they needed:

🐾 Polite introductions: no more jumping when guests arrive
🐾 Rock-solid obedience: strengthening basic obedience inside and outside the home
🐾 Behavior modification: addressing resource guarding safely and building trust around food and toys

The change in Bruce over the last 7 weeks has been incredible. This is what in-home training does. We train in your living room, your yard, your neighborhood — because that’s where real life happens. No cookie-cutter classes. Just customized plans, one-on-one coaching, and results that stick! 💯

Bruce’s family did the homework, celebrated the small wins, and gave him the consistency he needed to thrive. That’s the real secret to success. Please join us in congratulating Bruce! Drop a “congrats” in the comments to celebrate his graduation.

Thinking about training for your dog? Whether it’s basic manners, behavioral concerns, or just building a better relationship, we come to you or we offer training at our studio.

Meet Dallas! Six weeks ago, “down” was a suggestion. Today he’s a Basic Obedience graduate! 🎉

His owners put in one hour a week with us for six weeks. Now walks are easier, recall is reliable, and they can actually get his attention. Our Basic Obedience & Foundations program isn’t just for puppies. It’s the perfect way to get any dog back to listening — even adult dogs. If you’re struggling with advanced skills, going back to strengthen the basics is often the answer!

Our schedule is filling up. This time of year, many families start training as routines return and that puppy energy needs an outlet.

Need help beyond the basics? We provide comprehensive behavioral support for reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, and more. We work with all breeds and all behavior concerns.

Congratulations again to Dallas and his family on their hard work!🤩

We are always grateful when clients take the time to share feedback like this! 🤎

Here at Maximillion Dog Training, your first interaction with us matters. That’s why we make it a priority to respond to every inquiry in less than 24 hours.

When you’re dealing with dog behavior that feels overwhelming, waiting days for answers just makes it worse. Our goal is to give you relief fast with clear next steps, honest timelines, and a training plan that actually fits your dog and your life. Customer service isn’t just “nice to have” for us. It’s the foundation. Before we ever meet your dog we want you to feel heard, supported, and confident that you picked the right trainers.

Because real training starts with trust — and that starts with the first email, text, or call. ✔️

Thank you to Milo’s family for the kind words. (Cropped the email to not show personal information) We can’t wait to help your pack feel calm and confident again! Have questions about your dog? Reach out. We will get back to you today.
