Programs Offered
Lodge & Learn
In today’s busy world it is hard to find the time to dedicate to properly training your dog all by yourself, as a result our “Lodge & Learn” program has become our most popular offering. Just leave your dog with us and we’ll do all the initial basic obedience training. Your dog will learn to walk on a leash without pulling, and sit-stay and down-stay the first time you ask—even in the presence of heavy distractions such as dogs, cats, and people. After training you will receive lessons at your home to solve any lingering problems. Click for more details...
Advanced off Leash
Basic on-leash obedience training is a prerequisite for this program, but both programs may be completed simultaneously. Also, your dog must have a strong drive (willingness to please) to successfully complete this program. We will evaluate the level of your dog's training and drive to determine if it is ready for this program and recommend any additional training needed before starting the program.
This program would benefit the owner that wants their dog to obey commands even when off of a leash. Off-leash training ingrains the desire for your dog to obey commands far beyond the level of standard on-leash training. This level of training will enable you to control your dog from a distance in varying environments and where distractions may be present such as: dog parks, dog beaches, large backyards, or any other location where leash laws are not in effect.
