Why Narragansett Families Train at Patience Inspired Dog Training
Narragansett's outdoor lifestyle means dogs here need reliable skills—solid recall at the beach, loose-leash walking on busy trails, and calm behavior around other dogs and people. Our training is built around exactly those real-world skills, practiced in settings that help them stick when it matters.
We use positive reinforcement and science-informed methods exclusively. No shock collars, prong collars, or fear-based approaches. Instead, we focus on teaching, rewarding good choices, and building a relationship of trust and communication that makes training something your dog actually enjoys.
Our team is led by Michelle Jerald, MS, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, a certified canine behavior consultant. Whether you're working on basic manners or more complex behavioral concerns, Narragansett dog families have access to professional-level expertise.

Narragansett Dog Training FAQs
Do you offer in-home training in Narragansett?
Yes. PIDT offers in-home private training packages, along with in-facility training at our Coventry location. For some behaviors, training at home makes the most sense; for others, the facility environment is ideal. We'll help you choose.

Do you work with reactive dogs?
Yes. We offer a Reactive Dog Class and private behavioral training, supported by our certified canine behavior consultant. If your dog struggles around triggers, we can help you build a plan for steady progress.
