Day Training for your Dog!

Have our trainers work with your pup while you work with our Dog Day Training program!

 

Busy work schedule? Family schedule leaving you burned out? Just need a relaxing day? Need to tire out Fido but don’t have the time? Our Dog Day Training options are the perfect solution to your training needs!

We offer Dog Walks, Training Adventures Around Town, and Day Training options where our trainers come to your house and work with your dog during the day to ensure they get training in and keep progressing with their manners!

Why Does my Dog Need Day Training?

Dog Day Training is an amazing alternative to doggy day care! In reality, not every dog is appropriate for or enjoys doggy day care and not every person is comfortable with their dog in that environment.

Dog day cares can be hard for dogs or people for a variety of reasons such as:

  • Some dogs want to control and herd the other dogs which can be stressful for everyone
  • Some dogs don’t enjoy others’ play styles (some dogs like to wrestle, others like to chase, and more)
  • Nervous dogs can be overwhelmed with all the action going on and with the size of the play groups
  • Some dogs can have trouble with environmental change such as dogs and people coming and going
  • Intact dogs are often not allowed after a certain age

Dog Day Training allows your dog to get exercise and mental stimulation like they’d get at doggy day care in a controlled, safe way while they continue to progress their training. We can also help your dog learn new behaviors while you work, help them get more comfortable with grooming or nail trimming, help them get desensitized to new gear (Halti, Gentle Leader, etc.), work on reactivity or overarousal, and more!

Our programs center around training during walks, training at home, and training in real-world, dog-friendly environments. Read more and sign up below!

It’s kind of hard to write this because what Ginger has done for me & my dog is so big it’s truly hard to fit into words and just overwhelming to think about. I guess it’s pretty much like the proverbial “pebble in the pond” or “ripple effect.” One in home visit with her led to so many positive changes.

I love what they do here. Amazing work with animals that is science based and effective. I would recommend them to anyone!
