Bond County Illinois Dog Training with The Family Pooch Trainer

About Us

ILLINOIS DOG TRAINING AND PET SITTING

The Family Pooch Training team focuses on new puppies and dogs with obedience challenges, using positive reinforcement training methods. Craig and Cindy Moser moved to Greenville Illinois in 2016. We have a passion for shelter dogs and have our two girls, Ruby (Yorkie/Lab), and Stella (Lab/Shepherd) mix. We live on beautiful Governor Bond Lake, and we love caring and connecting with animals all while creating everlasting relationships. We provide care for your furry pals as if they were our own, and ensure that they receive the highest quality care during their training.

RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY | DOG OBEDIENCE

When you live a busy life, it is hard to consistently provide the attention and training that your pets need in order to learn a repetitive and consistent response. You can rely on us to provide you and your dog a set of positive reinforcement skills in a clear and consistent manner.
We can develop a training plan to fit your schedule and needs. You can attend one of our group sessions, we can come to your home, or you can leave them with us at our facility for a day or a weeklong boot camp.

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TRAINING METHODOLOGY

We specialize in training adopted dogs through our Greenville Illinois dog training classes. We are always prepared for any special training needs, and ensure that your pet will receive the best care and love possible. Their happiness and care is our priority, and we strive to provide a service we would want our own pets to receive.
We use the ADPT C.L.A.S.S. training program in all our training sessions.

Dog Sitting in the comfort of your home.

“There’s no place like home”

A Professional Pet Trainer Dog Sitting? Perfect….

Hello, I am Craig Moser the owner of The Family Pooch Trainer business. I started this business in 2018 due to the demand for in home dog obedience training in Bond County and surrounding Communities. Our first year was a tremendous success. I have retired from a long sales career on beautiful Governor Bond Lake and see another demand for the in-home care of Dogs with kennel anxiety. We are excited to announce our new in-home Dog Sitting services. We provide loving, individualized care to dogs, in and from the comfort of your own home, which offers the familiar, safe, and stress-free environment that your pets are used to.

Whether you’re working late, and your dog needs to get out of the house, or you’re traveling, and your dog wants to stay home, we offer every kind of care they might need when you are away. Most importantly, we offer peace of mind. We can feed, walk and spend quality time with them for a day or overnight stay in your home. We will send you videos of our time with them, so you can feel comfortable they are getting the attention they deserve.

We pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one care we give to each of your precious pets and will do our best to accommodate each client request. Did we mention as a certified trainer I can train them on those behaviors you would like to change? Loose leash walking, solid stay, toy aggression, crate training? Let us customize a training plan that fits the needs of your family.
