Dog Training and Learning to Speak "Dog"
Your dog loves being part of your family, but sometimes doesn’t always understand their position in your pack. Training helps your dog understand what you expect of them and allows the two of you to form a strong bond and partnership. Basic commands all dogs should know are sit, down, stay, walk nicely on a leash, come when called and leave it. We use current positive reward training methods and allow dogs to learn new skills at their own pace and in their own way.
Today’s society also requires that dogs have social skills that allow them to participate in activities with their family such as being friendly with people, without jumping on them, knowing how to play with other dogs, and manners in the car. We offer group training classes throughout most of the year and we have other training options available whenever your dog has a reason to be with us. Most of our training takes place in our light, airy atrium or one of our fenced dog play yards.
We have several different training options available:
- AKC Puppy STAR training course is for dogs who have little to no training, either puppies or older dogs. Class meets once per week for 6 sessions with testing for the Puppy STAR medal at end of course. This course covers sit, down, stay, leash walking, come, how to replace bad behaviors with good behaviors and also has social interactions between dogs and people. Cost is $125.00 + materials
- AKC Canine Good Citizen training course is for dogs who have passed the Puppy STAR class and is ready for more advanced training and socializing. Many of our students use this course as a stepping stone for therapy work or before starting agility training. Course covers advanced training for all basic commands, field trips for social interactions and assignments to reach individual goals. Passing the final test leads to the Canine Good citizen title. Class meets once per week for 6 sessions. Cost is $125.00 + materials
- Lodge and Learn Boarding Package is designed for the family that would like to return from vacation to a dog who has learned several new commands. This 5-day package includes multiple training sessions throughout the day and the discipline of expected behaviors each time a staff member interacts with your dog. A short private training session for the family is also included. Cost is $335.00 for 5 days training and board
- Jump Start Training is a daily training program that combined with either our Daycare or our Dog Camp program, helps to train or keep your dog learning new skills each day they are here with us. It is similar to our Lodge and Learn Pkg. except your dog goes home each evening. Cost is $12.00 per day
- Private Training Session is a one on one session with our trainer. Private sessions are useful to families who cannot commit to a weekly class or who are uncomfortable handling their dog in a group class. This is a great option for first time pet owners to learn how to speak “dog”, coping with the aggressive or separation anxious dog or the dog owner who wants some advanced training with therapy work. Cost is $55.00 per session
