Build a Happy, Confident, and Well-Behaved Dog!

Training your dog is an important part of enjoying a happy, healthy, balanced friend! Here’s how we can help:

• Tailored Training Plans: Whether it’s teaching basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “stay,” improving leash manners, or preparing for advanced goals like therapy dog training or AKC Canine Good Citizen certification, we’re here for you!
• Tackle Behavioral Issues: Struggling with unwanted behaviors? Our approach focuses on positive reinforcement and strategic guidance to create lasting change.
• Clear Expectations = Happier Dogs: When your dog understands boundaries—at home or on a walk—you both enjoy a happier and balanced life.
• Fun & Engaging Methods: We make training enjoyable! Through praise, excitement, and play, we keep your dog motivated and eager to learn.
• Confidence-Boosting Obedience: A strong obedience foundation helps your dog gain confidence, especially for shy or fear-aggressive dogs.

Let’s work together to create a well-mannered, confident companion you can be proud of!

Introducing Day Training: The Perfect Blend of Daycare and Professional Training!
Our Day Training program is an exciting new offering that combines the fun of daycare with the effectiveness of our Board & Train Program. It’s the perfect solution for dogs who need training but also enjoy the socialization and activities of daycare.

Here’s how it works:

• Personalized Training: After an initial evaluation with one of our trainers to discuss your training goals, your dog will spend their day in daycare, while also receiving individualized training sessions tailored to their needs.
• Focused Training Time: Throughout the day, your dog will have dedicated one-on-one sessions with our experienced trainers to address any behavioral concerns or work on basic obedience skills. Each day includes a total of 45 minutes of training.
• Program Structure: The Day Training package includes 6 training sessions spread over 3 weeks, with a progress review meeting during the second week to discuss results and provide at-home practice exercises.

How to Enroll:

• Make sure your dog is up to date with daycare assessments and vaccinations
• Complete a training evaluation
• Payment is due at the time of scheduling

Give your dog the benefits of structured training while they enjoy the excitement of daycare. We’re here to help them thrive—both mentally and socially!

Whether it’s a physical workout on the treadmill or a mental challenge with enrichment games, we’re here to provide a well-rounded, engaging experience for your dog!

At PetU, we believe in creating a harmonious relationship between you and your dog, helping both of you live together in peace and understanding. We all want our dogs to listen to us, follow commands, and behave well in both the home and public settings. However, these expectations come from the “human world,” and it’s important to recognize that when a dog enters our lives, it’s our responsibility to guide them in adapting to our way of life.

Our approach to training at PetU is balanced and rooted in understanding how dogs learn and what motivates them. Every dog is unique, and there’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution. While dogs were historically bred for specific tasks, today’s dogs have more varied roles, and we must take into account their breed, background, and individual temperament. We also emphasize the importance of being a clear and compassionate leader, setting appropriate boundaries, and offering guidance to help your dog understand what’s expected.

It’s essential to recognize that if we don’t provide clear direction and build a strong connection with our dogs, they may make their own decisions about what their “job” is. These decisions can lead to unwanted behaviors, such as destructive actions or even aggression. Our balanced training method works to prevent these behaviors by focusing on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and setting boundaries. We provide plenty of praise and rewards for desired behaviors while addressing undesirable ones.

At PetU, we work with you to find the right balance to help your dog thrive.

We believe in creating a supportive environment where:

• Learning and listening is exciting
• You dog grows through positive experiences

This approach fosters dogs that are:

• Well-mannered
• Happy & Calm
• Confident

Consistency, patience, and a strong bond are key to successful training, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re interested in group classes, one-on-one sessions, Daycare Day Training, or our Board & Train program, we offer a variety of options to help you achieve your training goals.
