Happy Friday! Thank you all for so many kind words and support on our last post. We are grateful for every single one of you - this community is why we love what we do. 🤎

Speaking of things that make our week… remember Penny? She graduated with us last week after working so hard on her confidence and obedience skills. Well, a couple days ago her owners posted a 5 star review on Google with the sweetest message about their experience training with us. We are so thankful for their kind words and for trusting us with their girl!

It’s moments like this that remind us why we pour our hearts into every dog that walks through our doors. Congrats again, Penny!

We have some exciting news to share with our clients! We are expecting our first baby girl in February 2027! 🩷

(And no, it's not another dog this time...🤣)

We have been so excited to share this part of our lives with you all, and we are so grateful for the support you've shown Maximillion Dog Training as we grow — both our business and our family.

What this means for scheduling:
We are currently fitting in as many clients as possible between now and February. If you've been thinking about booking training whether regular obedience or behavioral work, now is the perfect time to get on the schedule.

Once our baby arrives sometime in February, Zach will be taking 2½ weeks off from in-person doa training appointments. We are scheduling carefully so this doesn’t interrupt active client programs. You may just see a brief pause for a little over two weeks.

We will still be here for YOU!
Both of us will remain available by phone, text, and email during that time for questions, providing homework, support, and scheduling future sessions.

Thank you for being a part of our journey! If you are interested in scheduling, please contact us via messenger or by texting us at 207-522-3917.

Maximus is not impressed. He’d much rather have mild, warm weather… or a good snowstorm. Husky things, right? But, you know it’s a rainy day when:

-You get your mental stimulation games out because walks are cancelled
-You keep a towel by the door… and another one… and maybe three
-You accept that tomorrow is officially “clean the muddy paw prints off the floor” day
-Your dog gives you this look and you still tell them the quicker you go potty the faster you will be back inside!

Drop a photo of your rainy-day pup in the comments if your dog agrees with Maximus today! 📸

P.S. - Friendly reminder for our clients:
Don’t forget to schedule with us before September becomes fully booked. Whether you’re looking for private training, a regular obedience program, or you need some behavioral modification training - we do it all here and would love to help. 🤎

Our studio located in Oakland, Maine is climate-controlled, so your dog stays comfortable and dry no matter what Maine weather throws at us. Message us or text 207-522-3917 today!

Our private training calendar is filling FAST!🐾

If you are hoping to start training soon, here’s where we are at:

•Private Sessions:
We are completely booked through August. For September we still have a few openings, but 70% of the month is already full. To reserve a spot, we do require a deposit when booking.

•Group Class:
We are offering one last group class in September. It covers basic manners to intermediate skills so it’s great if your dog needs a refresher or next-level practice. You can find all the details on our website.

Additionally to the pup in this photo, huge congratulations to Hiro and his family on graduating with us recently! We are so proud of the work you put in. Ready to get started with your dog?

From 1st Day of School to Graduation Day! 🎉
Big congratulations to Penny and her amazing family!

Over the last NINE training sessions through a custom obedience program, this girl put in the work. We focused on:
•Polite greeting - no more jumping on guests
•Strengthening basic obedience - stay, recall, leash manners, etc
•Customized training tailored to Penny + her family’s lifestyle and goals

The commitment from Penny’s family is what makes this kind of progress possible. Training isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s why we build programs around YOUR dog and YOUR life.🤎

We are SO proud of you Penny! Can’t wait to see all the great things you do next! Ready to start your dog’s training journey? DM us to learn about our customized programs at 207-522-3917!

This past Saturday we had our yearly Outdoor Agility Day and we were able to snag a few photos of some of the pups who came out to play! 🐾

We offer agility year-round indoors right here in Oakland, Maine! You can book either 30-minute or 1-hour private agility sessions. While we don’t have another outdoor agility day posted just yet, we do have all of the same equipment set up indoors in our climate-controlled space.

Our agility is all about fun and confidence building. It’s non-competitive and perfect for dogs of all experience levels. To view pricing and schedule your own private agility session, we have some availability in September. The link to our website is in the comments!

Contact us today whether you would like to schedule an agility training appointment or if you need help with behavioral training. We would love to work with you and your pup!🤎

When Rufus first came to us, he was a sweet boy who just needed a little more clarity. More "I get what you’re asking" and less "wait, what do you want from me?"

Over 9 sessions, Rufus and his family put in the work. We started at our Oakland studio for 6 sessions building the basics, proofing recall, and giving his brain a workout with mental stimulation games. Then we took it home for 3 sessions to implement the skills further. We practiced with his own distractions, and in the comfort of his home.

Now? Rufus has a solid foundation, a family who feels confident, and a brain that’s tired in the best way. Big thank you to Rufus’s family for trusting us and for leaving such a kind review. Reviews like yours are how other people who are needing more help with their dog to find us. You’re helping dogs just like Rufus get the help they need. 🐾

We are so proud of you Rufus!🎉
