Big Sky Dog Training's purpose is to create an environment where you and your dog are learning together in a positive and fun environment. Big Sky Dog Training goes beyond the mechanics of obedience commands. We strive to provide a safe, effective, high-quality reward-based training program. Our program helps owners develop the optimum relationship with their dog. This relationship allows the dog to see the owner as a safe, strong, dependable, fair and consistent leader your dog wants to obey.

Professional dog trainer Montana C. Hayes has owned and trained dogs for more than 20 years. She started her professional career training horses and dogs in 1980. Over the years, she has been requested to evaluate dogs by shelters, animal control agencies, and veterinarians as well as private and group class clients. This extensive exposure to all types of breeds of dogs and all different canine temperaments has greatly contributed to her success as a trainer.

As with any other teacher or professional, Montana continues to update and expand her knowledg by working with other trainers, attending seminars, studying the latest theory and practice materials and training techniques. From the innovations in training, Montana selects what she believes are positive methods for instruction and add them to her training repertoire.

"Just wanted to tell you how much our family enjoyed working with you. You gave us a lot of insight on how to work with our 7-month-old beagle/aussie mix puppy who is acting like a wild teenager. I specifically like your calm attitude with the dog. You are very firm yet never yelled or tugged at the dog. We look forward to working with you at group class and on a few specific areas with private lessons at our home.
Thanks again, Mary W"
