Personal Dog Training

Few pet owners realize how confident and happy a well trained pet can be. Dogs are social animals and they want to communicate and please their owners. Since you and your dog speak different languages, teaching the dog to understand and follow five basic commands will make life easier and more fun for both of you.

Personal Training programs are designed with flexibility to meet the needs of both the owner and pet. Kennelwood's Certified Professional Dog Trainers will train your pet in just a few short weeks! Pets learn the five basic commands of Heel, Come, Sit, Down, and Stay, in addition to modifying various behavior problems. Prior to enrolling your pet we offer a FREE Training Evaluation to assess not only your dog's training aptitude, but to discover what training goals you are looking to achieve with your pet. The Personal Training Programs include handling lessons with the owner and Lifetime Training Support to assist you in maintaining your pet's level of training education.

Day Training

Our Day Training Program is the perfect solution for owners who want their pet trained, but don’t wish to board their pet overnight. The pet is dropped off each morning, our trainer works with the pet during the day and then the owner picks up their pet in the evening. This program is specifically designed to create a training partnership between the trainer, owner and pet. One of our Kennelwood professionals will quickly train your pet in just a few weeks. Your pet will learn the six basic on-leash commands of Climb, Heel, Come, Down, Sit and Stay. We can also work on modifying negative behavior patterns your pet may be exhibiting at home. Throughout the Day Training process, you will meet one-on-one with your pet's Personal Trainer during intervals scheduled at your convenience to review accomplishments and discuss exercises your and your pet will have for homework. Our Day Training program is three (3) consecutive weeks to ensure the very best results for you and your pet.

Board 'n Train

This program is the answer for the owner who loves their pet, but doesn’t have the time for training at home.
