DTP offers (4) personalized ways to train your dog.

1. Board and Train

This program is ideal for clients wanting an accelerated training program and / or who are not able to commit to a consistent training schedule.
Your dog stays with us for their training where we will accomplish a lot of training in a short period of time. We then train owners with their pets in both private and group sessions that are included with each package.

2. In-Home Training 

This program is ideal for clients that are wanting a convenient option and have the training conducted at their home.  Our trainers will travel to your home or other location dictated by your training goals and train your dog and you.

3. Private Lessons 

This is our most popular program and it is a good option if you would like to be involved in the training process. You will meet with your personal trainer once per week for private lessons, to focus on obedience basics and behavior modification training. Once basic obedience skills are obtained with your pet, you will attend group classes which will help to desensitize your dog when confronted with distractions.

4. Drop-off / Pick-up 

Get everything that board and train has to offer but you would prefer it if your pet came home every night? With our Day Drop off program, we work with your dog to teach them everything that they need. These are scheduled by the day, and our staff will focus training based on the needs of you and your pet.

See all of the fun we have been having!

Life with a dog is never perfect. But it can be better.

A few pictures from Saturday's group class. This was the first group class for many of the dogs who attended. Several of them in this group have a history of dog reactivity. Everyone (dogs and people) did fantastic! Some dogs will never become dogs that play well with others, but with training and consistency, they can learn to better control their impulses to react inappropriately. During training sessions, pet owners learn how to interpret the way their dogs communicate and how to respond appropriately. Aggressive behaviors, whether directed towards people or other animals, are a driving factor for many who reach out to me for training assistance. Once a training foundation has been established, I believe that attending structured group classes is a fantastic opportunity to desensitize dogs to situations that would have previously overstimulated them and provoked undesirable behaviors. These classes can benefit all dogs. If you are interested, please let me know.

Meet Copper. He is a 5 month old mini Golden Doodle here for boarding and training. He has been with me a little over a week now. Copper is a very smart, fun, and energetic pup who loves everyone. He is a real pleasure to be around.
