About Us - WOOFS! Dog Training Center

Support for your dogs and their people

Dear friend,

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We’re a family-owned (and women-led) small business that’s been proudly serving our community since 2002. From the beginning, we’ve built our work on one thing: a deep love for dogs—and a whole lot of respect for the people who care for them.

Our team is made up of experienced, compassionate professionals who are passionate about dog training, behavior, and continuing education. We never stop learning because your dog deserves the best we can offer, and we believe the same is true for you, too.

We use positive reinforcement methods not just because they work, but because they reflect our values. It’s not just about fixing problems—it’s about teaching the skills that help dogs and people thrive. Whether we’re helping your dog learn essential life skills or supporting you as you navigate life with your canine companion, our approach is always kind, proactive and rooted in trust.

We’re not a chain or a franchise—we are your neighbors, your cheerleaders and your teammates in the joyful (and sometimes challenging) work of raising good dogs. We’re so glad you’re here.

– Laura Sharkey and the WOOFS! trainers and daycare team
