Dog Training

The philosophy at The Pet Resorts for dog training is a blend of modern motivational techniques with some tried and true traditional methods. Owners are taught to recognize behavioral cues and reinforce appropriately. Dogs do not have to be handled harshly to earn respect! Emphasis is on using logic and communication to get results, not force. Training should be fun for both owner and dog.

WOULD YOU LIKE A DOG WHO WILL:

  • Walk by your side without pulling on the leash?
  • Come when called?
  • Go to his/her place and stay on the place while you eat dinner?
  • Greet guests without jumping on them?
  • Gladly cooperate with the groomer or veterinarian?
  • Pay attention to you, regardless of distractions?
  • Be HAPPY and OBEDIENT?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we can help!

At The Pet Resorts we are:

  1. Certified dog trainers
  2. Veterinary Recommended
  3. Member APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers)
  4. Certified CGC (Canine Good Citizen)  Evaluator
  5. Educated in “real life” manners and training

GROUP CLASSES

 

Group classes are a cost effective way to learn training and dog handling skills and work your dog with the added benefit of “Distraction Proofing”. Does your dog obey you in the house but nowhere else? Outside distractions often keep dogs from paying attention. Group classes are taught at our Cumming boarding facility with other dogs, people, and all types of distractions so they provide the perfect opportunity to “fine tune” your handling skills and correct unwanted behavior problems. However, if once in awhile you still need a little more personal attention, private lessons are available either at our boarding facility or at your home.
