Do you have a dog who eats really fast or has a lot of energy even after dinner time? 😅 Let’s talk about one of the EASIEST ways to tire your dog out without even leaving your house — mental enrichment at mealtime!

Instead of feeding from a regular bowl try feeding on a snuffle mat, lick mat, or a puzzle feeder! Just 10 to 15 minutes of sniffing and problem-solving can tire your dog out just as much as a long walk. Why we love it:
✅ Slows down fast eaters & aids digestion
✅ Burns mental energy & reduces anxiety / hyperactivity
✅ Builds confidence & satisfies that natural foraging instinct
✅ Perfect for those cold days when walks get cut short

In this video, one of our own pups is getting his dinner on a snuffle mat — you can literally see his brain working! ALSO it’s that time of year where it’s getting colder out and darker earlier! Don’t forget, we offer our Sniffari Sessions to keep your dog enriched all winter long. What is a Sniffari?
Think of it as a decompression walk FOR your dog. Unlike a structured heel walk, your dog gets to lead the way with their nose! It’s 15 or 30 minutes of pure sniffing, exploring, and decompressing in a safe, approved area. It’s amazing for anxious, reactive, or high-energy dogs — and it’s their favorite part of the week!

We are offering:
🐾 15-Minute Sniffari Session: $30 in total
🐾 30-Minute Sniffari Session: $60 in total
(Payment due upon booking)

Let us be your dog’s personal enrichment team this winter! Want to learn more about our training programs or book a Sniffari? Send us a message today as our December calendar is filling up fast!

And what better way to celebrate than with a DOUBLE GRADUATION! 🎓 Please help us congratulate Myla & Brodie! These two have been attending weekly private sessions with us for the past couple of months for their customized obedience programs and have made us so incredibly proud.

Myla came to us working through some anxiety and has blossomed into such a confident, happy girl. And Brodie brought his big smile and big heart to every session and pushed to be his best self every time. They both graduated with flying colors and we couldn't be happier for them.

A huge thank YOU to their amazing owner Amanda for trusting us with your fur babies and for that incredible 5-star review. Your dedication at home is why they were able to succeed. You gave them the tools, we just helped guide the way! Please join us in congratulating these two graduates! 🎉

We are SO incredibly proud to announce our newest graduate who has officially completed ALL THREE levels of our Obedience Programs!

Susie has been with us for the past 4 months, starting from Level One: Beginner Obedience & Foundations all the way through to our Advanced Skills. What an amazing transformation it has been to watch! From learning the foundations of communication, to mastering intermediate obedience, to now executing advanced skills with confidence and reliability. Susie and her family showed up, put in the work, and absolutely crushed it. This is what dedication looks like! 🐾

Completing our full 3-Level program is no small task. It takes commitment, consistency, and a true partnership between dog and owner, and Susie’s family is the perfect example of that.

What our 3-Level Obedience Program builds:
✅ Level One: Foundations, leash manners, sit/down/stay, recall, confidence & communication
✅ Level Two: Intermediate obedience, real-world distractions, duration & reliability
✅ Level Three: Advanced obedience, quick responses & partnership

Susie is now a happy, confident, and incredibly well-mannered girl who is ready to take on the world with her family. Please join us in congratulating Susie on this HUGE accomplishment! We are going to miss seeing that beautiful smile every week! 🩷

Do YOU want results like this for your dog?

Our 3-Level program is designed to take your dog from basics to advanced. Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog that needs a refresher — we can get you there.

Our fall schedule is filling FAST! Message us today to get your dog enrolled and start your own graduation journey!

What a way to end our 2026 group class season! Last Thursday, our final Real World Skills class officially graduated! 7 amazing dogs completed their assignments where we take all of the basics and strengthen them while adding intermediate skills. We also built up some confidence through agility!

This group was so much fun to work with. From loose leash walking past real-life distractions, to solid stays, recalls, and watching these pups light up when they conquered the agility equipment for confidence building — they all worked so hard. 🤎

Thank you to every single family who joined us for group classes this year. Every group class this year was completely booked weeks in advance, and we had such a wonderful time meeting new clients and working with so many returning clients. You are the reason we love what we do. We are so proud of you all!

Interested in joining a group class? Our new set of group classes will be posted in January of 2027! Be the first to know by subscribing to our newsletter on our website or by following us here on social media. They book out fast!

Interested in staying busy during the holiday season? Join one or multiple of our private training programs! To enroll, text 207-522-3917. We schedule private training sessions based on your availability. (Deposit required to schedule)

Yes! You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!🤩
Please help us congratulate Ginger, our beautiful 8-year-old yellow lab who just graduated from our Custom Obedience Program!

Ginger was adopted from the Humane Society. Her new family Pete & Bev, learned that she was so loving, smart, and adapted quickly, but she came with 8 years of habits that needed some work. They looked at online classes and pet store classes but knew they needed one-on-one, in-person training for her AND them. That's when their kennel owner referred them to us!

In 8 weeks Ginger went from a sweet senior girl with some old habits to proudly mastering stay, leave it, and all the building blocks for more complex learning. Her parents learned our patient approach that lets a dog make the right decision on their own. This is why we do what we do. It's never too late and it's never just about the dog — it's about training the whole family. 🤎

We are so proud of you Ginger! A HUGE thank you to Pete & Bev for this incredible 5-star review. We are blessed with the best clients and maintain our 5-star reviews on both Google and Facebook because of families like you!

Pete said it best: “Mr. Zach, is a dog whisperer. I swear he knows what dogs are thinking and talks to them like he does!”
Thank you for trusting Maximillion Dog Training.

Most of our Basic Obedience graduates finish up at our training studio but Paddi's family wanted to make sure all of that hard work transferred perfectly to home. So we did something a little different for this girl. 🤩

Paddi completed our Basic Obedience & Foundations Program and then we added an extra in-home session to wrap it all up and pull it all together right where it matters most. Why? Because a solid "stay" at our studio is great, but a solid "stay" when someone knocks on YOUR front door, or when dinner is on YOUR counter - that's real life.

We took everything she learned from leash manners, stay, recall, leave it, etc and proofed it in her home environment with her family leading the way. Her people did an amazing job, and Paddi was an absolute star! ⭐️

This is what clients love about our programs. They aren't one-size-fits-all. We can build around what YOU actually need.

Help us congratulate Paddi and her family on a huge accomplishment! Do you have a dog who needs some more assistance? We are here to help! Contact us today to schedule.

We've had so many new clients book with us recently and as we welcome new faces we wanted to share a reminder about the methods we use because we truly believe positive reinforcement is the best, kindest, and most effective way to train. 🤎

That means:

✔️ We focus on rewards, play, and praise to teach your dog
✔️ We build confidence and communication, not fear
✔️ We use evidence-based, fear-free methods that strengthen your bond
✔️ We train WITH you - not without you. That's why we never offer board & trains. We want you there for every win!

Our goal is for your dog to be excited to learn and for you to feel confident continuing the skills at home in a safe, supportive, judgement-free space. And because our positive, fear-free methods are for every dog, everyone is welcome here even if you've used a different method before. No judgement, just support!

Additionally we offer training at our studio in Oakland and we also offer in-home sessions if you prefer us to come to you! All of our scheduling is booked around your schedule during our hours of operation to make training as easy as possible for you and your pup.

A quick heads up: November is already filling up fast and we have flexible scheduling during the week including evenings. If you have been thinking about getting on our schedule, now is a great time to reach out!

We are so grateful for every single one of you. Thank you for being a part of the Maximillion Dog Training family! 🐾

Over the past 6 weeks we had the pleasure of working with Zeke & Zoey in the comfort of their own home with weekly in-home sessions. They completed a customized behavior modification program focused on:

-Desensitization & reactivity support
-Strengthening basic obedience skills
-Decompression management for anxiety

We are SO proud of the progress these two have made and how they have excelled at every single skill thrown their way. Also a huge thank you to their wonderful family for their commitment and dedication to our training program!

Did YOU know we offer in-home training?
While we have our training studio in Oakland, we also come to YOU! If your dog struggles more at home, on your walking routes, or with things in your neighborhood our in-home training sessions are a great option to work on real-life skills where you need them most.

Please note we do charge a gas/time fee for in-home appointments. We are currently booking for November and on for both in-studio and in-home appointments. If you've been thinking about getting your pup enrolled, send us a message on our website or text us at 207-522-3917!🐾

We haven't shared too much since we announced that Martina is pregnant, but last Friday we had one of our recent graduates come in for their last session and they brought something so thoughtful with them. 🤎

She passed along a book she had when she was pregnant which is officially our baby's first book ever. She also included the most heartfelt note that meant so much to us. Moments like this remind us why we love what we do so much.

We want you to know how genuinely grateful we are for all of you! Whether it's a simple "thank you for your help," a kind review on Google, referring a friend, or a gift like this. We feel your support every single day and it means more than we can say. It is because of you that we get to keep doing what we love and keep our family business busy.

Thank you for celebrating this new chapter of life with us, for trusting us with your dogs, and for being the best clients we could ask for! We are so lucky to have this community. 🐾

Quick update: We are currently booking for new private clients for November and on. If you have been thinking about getting started, please reach out via text or through our contact form on our website (link in comments).
