Dog training services in Columbia, MO and online.
Reactive dogs
Does your dog over-react to people or dogs, with barking, growling, or lunging? Would you like take a leisurely stroll together instead of being on the lookout for other people or dogs?
Our reactive dog lessons can help you teach your dog how to manage their emotions and stay engaged with you around their triggers.
Excited dogs
Is your dog over the top and unfocused? Is it like they can’t hear you when there’s something exciting around, and unable to relax? Do you dream of a dog who responds even when there are distractions?
Our private lessons for excited and distracted dogs can help you teach your dog how to chill out and check back in with you.
Puppies
Do you feel overwhelmed by your new baby dog? Not sure how to raise them? Do you feel more like you have a baby alligator than a puppy? Is potty-training the bane of your existence?
Let us make it easier.
Our puppy lessons will give you clear guidance on how to help your puppy grow into a well-adjusted, well-behaved adult dog. Let us take some of the worry away so that you can spend more time cuddling your pup!
Senior Dogs
Is your beloved furry friend getting older? Do you want your senior to stay fit and tolerate new veterinary procedures better? Does your dog have ingrained habits you’d like to change?
Your old dog can learn new tricks.
With our senior dog lessons, you’ll have help navigating the changing needs of your older dog. When you combine senior dog training with the compassionate care of your vet, you can know you’re giving your dog what they need in their golden years.

Heather S & Bear
"Cade was so helpful with my husky-mix! They really helped me understand why my dog does certain behaviors so that we can address things appropriately. Cade is incredibly approachable and has a judgment-free attitude that made me feel so comfortable asking questions!"

Ashley & Murphy
“Cade is such an incredible trainer! They are so knowledgeable and very patient. My rescue dog Murphy is reactive and Cade helped me learn how to help him feel more comfortable and calm. It is a night and day difference and has changed our lives in so many ways!”

Motley R & Phoebe
“I have dog training background myself, and am familiar with how to troubleshoot situations with my dog Phoebe - but even so, I often find it difficult to do the work myself. I have found, however, that Cade of Argot Animal Training is not only great at troubleshooting potential roots of my dog's behavior and seeking out further resources that may be applicable, but also at breaking down long-term goals into smaller approachable ones, and helping to dig up and maneuver around any personal barriers to these goals. Sometimes dog training is as much about training the owner as the dog - and Cade has proven to be patient and reinforcing with me and Phoebe both!”
