Today only! Every donation made to Toledos PET Bull Project is being matched up to $4,000!
We absolutely love this organization. Our training team is fortunate to support several of their programs—like their free training and vaccination events, where more than 500 dogs received training and vaccines this year. We also assist with their Teacher’s Pet program, which brings local kids together with foster dogs to help them learn valuable training skills and become more adoptable. And we’re proud to help with their affordable training classes to ensure high-quality training is accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation.
This organization is so much more than a rescue—it provides essential services that help keep pets and families together. Many dogs are surrendered simply because they need a bit of guidance, and PET Bull Project is making sure those resources are available.
If you’re able, please consider donating to this incredible organization today. 100% of every donation goes directly to helping dogs and families in our community.
And if donating isn’t possible, volunteering is another wonderful way to make an impact—we’re always grateful for extra hands to help run programs

Both the human and animal side of the relationship is important.
Behavioral problems are the number one cause of owner frustration and ultimately relinquishment for dogs under the age of three. Most of these behavioral problems can easily be avoided with a positive training approach and plan. Owners can prevent problems before they happen or remedy problems that are already present.
Your dog is a family member and that is why we encourage every member of the family to be involved with the training. Our family friendly approach to training can be learned and implemented by the entire family. Instead of focusing on what the dog is doing wrong, we teach the dog the behaviors we want them to perform. This method is scientifically proven to be the fastest form of training. This is great news for dog owners! Currently top search and rescue, drug detection, and service dog organizations are adopting these training methods because of the fast learning and reliable results.
We believe that learning is a life-long endeavor. Our goal is to become better trainers and teachers for our clients and their animals. We attend continuing education events, acquire certifications, and participate in college level courses to deepen our understanding of animal behavior.
We hope you will choose Ready Set…Train! for your training and behavior needs!
