Dog Training

Stay & Train Programs

Your pup stays with us and learns from expert trainers who tailor the program to your dog’s personality and needs. We kick things off with an evaluation, then match your dog with the perfect training plan.

On your final drop-off Monday, you’ll get a fun booklet explaining what your dog learned and how we teach. Then it’s your turn—we’ll guide you through handling skills and commands in a one-on-one lesson.
