Dog Training in Timonium
Creating Healthy, Happy Dog-to-Parent Relationships Using Reward-Based Methods
Camp Bow Wow® Towson's dog training services are designed to forge a healthy bond between you and your pup. Our premier dog training services offer variety, flexibility, and can cater to your dog’s specific needs. Our goal is to help you and your pup establish clear communication and enjoy working together. We believe training is a life-long process and should be both fun and challenging.
The training we offer is based on scientifically proven methodology and aligns with the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA®), the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), and other established animal welfare organizations.
When you work with a trainer at our Camp in Timonium, your dog practices real-life skills in an environment that reflects your daily routine, from greeting new people calmly to settling after an exciting day. Many pet parents in the greater Baltimore area juggle busy schedules, so we focus on practical behaviors that make life together easier at home, on walks through local neighborhoods, and during visits to nearby Maryland parks.
One of our Camp Bow Wow Certified Trainers will work to design a program that meets your needs and your schedule. Contact Camp Bow Wow at (443) 586-9885 to schedule a session!
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "reward-based" training actually mean?
Reward-based training focuses on reinforcing behaviors we want to see more of by using things your dog loves, like treats, praise, or play. This method builds a "bank account" of positive associations, making your dog an eager participant in the learning process rather than just following orders out of fear or pressure.

You can start training your puppy as soon as they come home, focusing first on simple cues like their name, “sit,” “come,” and gentle handling. Early training helps set good habits, builds trust, and makes learning fun. Once your pup meets age and vaccine requirements, they can often join puppy classes to practice manners and social skills in a safe setting. See if training is available at your local Camp Bow Wow.
