Types of Dog Training

Foundation Training: Foundation skills are the building blocks of a canine education. Teach your dog the mechanics and comprehension of basic commands using shaping techniques that allow your pup to make decisions and reap rewards. Building on a solid foundation will allow you to reach your training goals and much more! Achieve your pup’s foundation with group classes, private lessons, our resort “stay and train” program or a combination of these options.

Puppy Training: Get started on the right paw and begin bonding with your new arrival! Discover early education, learn the must-dos and avoid puppy pitfalls. Some of the topics covered in class or private lessons include relationship building, socialization, common mistakes, house training, crate training, chewing, jumping, and confidence building.

Agility Training: Explore the fun world of canine agility! Try an introductory class or sharpen your skills for the next agility trial. We have a place in this program for everyone. Enhance your communication skills and read your dog’s body language as you and your dog build confidence and navigate each obstacle! You can get started in our agility program in a class or a private lesson. Agility training can also be added to your dog’s lodging or daycare stay!

Resort Stay and Train: Combine premier lodging with top-notch training in this popular program. In addition to a custom training program, guests will also receive daily playtime and socialization, nutritious meals and a relaxing Hydrosurge™ bath to top off a great stay. Let your canine truly unwind and be happy while learning from our master trainers.

Behavior Modification: Sometimes we need to focus on what the dog is thinking and feeling inside to shape an unwanted reaction or behavior. This is different than simply asking for a certain behavior. The objective is to change behavior by changing how the dog views a situation, person, or stimulus. Schedule a private lesson with one of our professional dog trainers to learn how behavior modification can help you and your canine.

Specialty Training: Tracking, scent detection, competition obedience and other specialty dog training can be achieved through our workshops, private lessons, and occasional group classes.
