CBowdens Valley Dog School

CBowdens Valley Dog School Private Dog Training available in the Shenandoah Valley. Carly pushed to make her dream a reality.

Carly has had a love for animals since she was a child and as she grew, so did her strong desire to work with dogs. Landing a job at a local Boarding / Training facility was just the beginning, she was able to apprentice under two very well known and established dog trainers and learn what was required to become an accomplished trainer. With eight years of experience working with dogs she now unde

rtands that, like humans, dogs have unique personalities and do not all respond to the same type of training enforcement, this realization has lead her to found CBowdens Valley Dog School, a school for training canines and their owners to use many different approaches to training. Her methods have been proven to work very effectively on problem dogs, especially. While two years as head trainer at a boarding/training facility was a start, she currently enrolled in an online class in hopes of getting a certificate and furthering her knowledge. She is also planning to enter her corgi in some classes in hopes of learning the sport, agility. She Looks foward to working with you and your furry four legged friend!

Do you remember Ruby from last month? This is her little sister, Lena.

Lena just joined us for her 2 week program a few days ago. She’s already on a roll and busy learning. We’ve started all obedience intros and will be spending her remaining time with us teaching her better impulse control while introducing different distractions during her routines. Keep an eye out for her updates.

Have you seen our stories lately? This sweet girl is Ruby! She joined us at the beginning of the week for her 2 week Board and Training Program and has been learning so much! She is a very nervous puppy so we spent some much needed time to help her decompress and relax in the early days but she’s been showing off some wonderful impulse control for a few days. Keep watch in our stories in the coming days for more of her updates. She’s a sweetheart! ♥️

This sweet girl is Basil! She just joined us for our 3 week Board and Training program a few days ago. Her family is very nervous about her off leash manners as she has zero recall. She has a tendency to steal food from kids hands and can jump quite a bit. She is also a bit of a handful on a leash.

What we’ve learned since drop off is she is easily motivated and is picking up on her intros very well! We’re so excited to see what this girl can accomplish! Stay tuned!

And, meet Ginger, our other 2 week student!
Ginger is a bit more energetic and tends to stay busy at home, this sometimes involves her getting up on the dining table in attempt to find food.
Both of the girls will be learning all obedience commands so their family can easily reinforce better habits so stay tuned for her updates in our stories as well.

Meet Bella, one of two German Shepherd puppies that arrived to begin their 2 week Board and Training programs this week.
Bella tends to be the more laid back pup but she still struggles with a lot of the typical puppy stuff so we will be working on all obedience commands. This will help her family as they will be able to reinforce better habits at home once they have a way to communicate with her.
Keep an eye on our stories for their updates!
