The Cooperative Dog Dog Training & Behavior Consulting Boston,Greater Boston, MetroWest MA

Welcome to The Cooperative Dog the place where your dog training and dog behavior consulting needs will be met.

Regardless of whether you've adopted or rescued a dog or have had your dog since puppyhood, I can help you with your dog behavior problems. You can come to see me in Brookline or I will travel to work with you and your dog in your home anywhere in Boston and most cities and towns in the Greater Boston Area of Massachusetts.

I have dog training classes to get you and your puppy off to a great start; your young dog through adolescence and your adult dog back to being the good dog you had in mind. If your dog is struggling in interactions with other dogs, my reactive dog classes will help you get a handle on your dog's behavior.

My dog training classes are fun and educational for you and your dog. My dog training methods are reward based, humane and effective. Dogs become wiling partners in the training process.

My experience of more than a decade and a half has taught me to simplify the process of teaching people how to train their dogs. My tagline, 'practical training for every day life' is all about making it possible for busy families to have a well behaved, well adjusted dog. I have several private dog training options available to help you achieve just that!

Some people just WANT to know more about dog behavior while others really NEED to know more. I offer specific topic educational dog behavior seminars and time saving dog training workshops in Brookline and Belmont.

Upcoming event: Reactive Dog Seminar 2-330 pm Sunday, May 20th at No Bones About It in Brookline.

Upcoming Dogs & Storks seminars at Babies R Us at 6:30 pm in Framingham MA on May 17th. Call the respective stores to register for these FREE events!

For practical training for every day life, call 617-803-4086 or email Vera@CooperativeDog.com today! I look forward to helping you with your dog(s)!

Excerpt from the Boston magazine
2011 Best of Boston 'Best Dog Trainer' Award
'After suffering through trainers who merely barked advice (our ears are still ringing), we were overjoyed to discover owner Vera Wilkinson's quiet expertise. Certified both as a dog behavior consultant and a professional dog trainer-- and armed with more than a decade of experience--Wilkinson begins by watching you interact with Fido at home. Only then does she offer suggestions. She takes her time and you and your dog will end up the better for it.'

Here's one of many client testimonials
K. Cohen of Brookline
'...A trainer we'd worked with for only 3 days told us we'd have to euthanize our dog. That was unacceptable to us. We asked around for help and finally, a woman from Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue told us, "Call Vera Wilkinson and you won't have to euthanize your dog." That was 4 years ago...Vera has taught our family about more than just dog training. She helped us to work together as a team. ..
