Dog Training in Fishers, IN
Did you recently welcome a new four-legged, furry friend to your family? In addition to proper wellness and preventative care, your new puppy can also greatly benefit from training classes to help them start off on the right paw and ensure their transition into life with your family is smooth and stress-free. At Fishers Veterinary Hospital, we offer puppy and adult dog training classes for clients of Fishers Veterinary Hospital and our two associate locations. Our very own Julie Settles, RVT and a Karen Pryor Certified Training Partner, will lead you and your pet through a variety of training exercises with a positive reinforcement training approach.

Positive Reinforcement Dog Classes
Our Puppy Start Right and Manners classes, held at Carmel Veterinary Clinic in Carmel, IN, focus on teaching puppies and adult dogs the skills they need to become well-adjusted members of the family. These fun and interactive classes will teach your pet to follow basic commands, engage with their environment, and build the foundation for a lifelong relationship with you. We use a positive reinforcement approach, meaning your dog’s good behaviors will be rewarded with treats, making learning fun and effective.
Classes are held on Saturday afternoons in the lobby of our Carmel location. The cost for the 6-week course (whether Puppy Start Right or Manners) is $160.
*Please bring pea-sized, high-value treats to class as your dog’s rewards.
Julie Settles, RVT
Julie, a Registered Veterinary Technician with Fishers Veterinary Associates for over a decade, is also a Karen Pryor Certified Training Partner. Her approach centers on Positive Reinforcement Training, where desired behaviors are rewarded to encourage repeat actions. This method helps your dog understand that making positive choices leads to positive outcomes, creating a constructive learning environment without punishment.
Class Requirements
At Fishers Veterinary Hospital, we care about the health and well-being of all our patients and soon-to-be students. That is why we require all student dogs to be up to date on age appropriate vaccinations including distemper-parvo, Bordetella, and rabies. If you’re not sure if your pet is up to date on their vaccines or have any questions about our dog training classes, feel free to give us a call at (317) 842-5865 or schedule an appointment so we can make sure your pet is ready for class!
