Day-Training:
Temporarily unavailable.

For those who want to let the pro’s handle the thousands of repetitions that go into training your dog and only have to learn the maintenance side of training, Day-training may be the perfect fit for you. Day Training is where you drop your dog off for the day with us and we put in all of the legwork. Unlike a board and train, you can come pick your dog up at the end of the day and bring them home. Day Training can address behavioral challenges like reactivity, leash pulling, counter surfing, resource guarding and jumping on guests, Board and Trains are always the best option for addressing true aggression. If you are unsure whether your dog is simply reactive or aggressive, evaluations are available.

Day Training covers everything in our obedience package plus getting into and out of cars, counter conditioning grooming, & socialization.

Includes: Six 8 hour days of training, a long line, The Good Dog Way: Love Them by Leading Them by Sean O’Shea, & one Herm Sprenger prong collar as needed.
