Benefits of Professional Dog Training
- Improves safety. Dogs who have learned to recall on command, wait and practice impulse control are far safer in real-world environments. Plus, well-mannered dogs who don’t jump or pull the leash are less likely to accidentally cause harm to their owners or another person.
- Improves home harmony. Not being able to effectively communicate with your dog can be frustrating for everyone. Good training ensures your dog understands what’s expected of them and helps you enjoy your dog’s company even more.
- Reduces challenging behaviors. Behaviors like jumping, begging at the table, and excessive barking often result from a lack of clear communication between human and dog. We teach families to understand the driving forces behind unwanted behaviors and how those behaviors might be reinforced in the home environment.

Proven Dog Training Programs
Board & Train
This highly effective program is like an action-packed training camp for dogs. Because training takes place during a stay at our resort, the canine student enjoys maximum one-on-one time with our trainers as well as a balance of playtime and learning. Here’s what’s included:
- All the amenities of a stay at our resort
- Playtimes either in group or with a caregiver
- Multiple daily training sessions
- Daily wellness checks
- Take-home resources and exercises
- Ongoing support from our team
Private Lessons
For pet parents who prefer a more hands-on approach, we offer two kinds of private dog training lessons. Training at our facility takes place in a dedicated training yard and includes controllable levels of distractions to improve your dog’s focus when faced with real-world situations. We can also come to your home and involve the whole family.
Group Classes
This option provides a classroom setting where a small class works with one of our experienced trainers. We offer a variety of group classes focused on different skill levels and goals.

Dog Training FAQ
What vaccinations are required for training?
To keep our guests safe and healthy, we require all dogs be up to date on their vaccinations for rabies and Bordetella. We also highly recommend the canine influenza vaccinations.
What happens during the training evaluation?
You’ll meet one-on-one with a member of our professional training team to discuss your goals, challenges, and experiences. We’ll explain our processes, tell you about our programs and facility, and help determine the best training approach for your situation. This meeting is also the first step in developing your pet’s customized training program. Payment plans are available.
Can you work on a specific goal with my dog?
We’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and challenges, so we may be able to help with a particular challenge. When you come in for your free training evaluation, we’ll discuss how we can help.
