Training
Our professional staff follows an interactive, inclusive approach to obedience training with a focus on positive reinforcement and an individualized assessment of your dog's abilities. We don't just simply take your dogs in, train them, and send them home, but we believe pet parents should be involved in every step of the learning process as well. This helps to foster a consistent routine and strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Our trainers have completed extensive schooling, several hours of volunteer work, externships, and a final exam to become certified. Through group or one-on-one sessions, they can help you acquire the necessary skills to meet your dog's needs:
Puppy Class: 4 Classes Per Dog $120

In this course, puppies will learn socialization, recall, sit, stand, walking on a leash without pulling, and much more.
Basic Obedience: 7-8 Classes Per Dog $190

In this class, we teach all the basics you need to know to start training your dog to be a well-mannered canine citizen.

NEW CLIENT FORMS
"Our babies were loved, spoiled, and especially well cared for at Learn, Play, Stay Doggie Resort. Donna is the best and the staff are great as well. We will have them care for our six pups again whenever we go out of town. The facilities are excellent and we really loved that each of our six pups had their own room."
