In less than thirty minutes from Seattle, Washington you and your puppy or dog could be romping around on the Puppy Manners Ranch at Crystal Creek Farms! It’s an easy drive and while still close to Seattle, it feels like you are hundreds of miles from city life. Located in the small town of Woodinville is one of the best dog training camps in the Northwest. Puppy Manners is the Bishop family’s home and puppies and dogs that are enrolled in their Puppy Manners programs are welcome to also enjoy being a guest at the ranch. It’s what many refer to as “free range boarding.” There are no cages at Puppy Manners. Seattle dogs get to experience hours of free play in our Field of Dreams play field. Puppy Manners is a home away from home to many Washington State dogs! Our puppy ranch, known as Crystal Creek Farms, is located on over five beautiful natural wooded acres. Just one look at our photo album and you will see that dogs love it here and we love dogs! Our clients and friends love knowing that their dogs are not just learning to be better family dogs, but enjoying the community play that the ranch offers to every dog every day they are here. We also have a “Puppy Nanny” program for puppies that are too young for traditional boarding facilities. Your puppy is learning every day. At the ranch puppies are taken out on field trips to help them socialize and have as many positive experiences as we can. You can’t start Starbucks field trip training too soon! Puppy Manners is not exclusive to the state of Washington. We have hosted puppies and dogs from Alaska New York, California and Hawaii!

One look at our Testimonials page and you will see that Becky Bishop and her husband Dave are more than just dog trainers. They know how important it is to not just train the dog but also coach the other end of the leash… the people. Board and train is just one of several programs Puppy Manners has to offer. We help you train your dog according to your needs, abilities and life style. Before you can train a puppy or a dog you need to understand how dogs think. Becky, Dave and company are master communicators when it comes to your canine companion. Becky and Dave also teach privately, on-site, in your dog’s home environment, or you can come to the ranch with your dog for some personal coaching. Our Puppy Manners group dog training classes are the most popular in Seattle.
