Board & Train
Many pet owners with demanding schedules appreciate
this option: a training program in which your dog stays at the Castle.
Our "Doggie Camp" program is unparalleled for its thoroughness. Consistency
is the goal...and the hallmark of training that lasts! This option is available
for the beginner dog as well as tune ups for the intermediate dog.
Because your dog is trained by a professional,
the training is intense, personal, comprehensive, and completely individualized
to your dog's temperament and current behaviors. In this environment, results
come quickly.
Your dog will be taught to behave appropriately
in a variety of settings: in the home, on the street, in the park, even
in "social" situations (like a pet store visit.)
Because your dog's training program is individualized,
we will address particular behavior problems—like pulling, biting/mouthing,
excessive barking, and chewing—and correct them in less time than
usual.
Private Lessons
Available on a lesson-by-lesson basis, private lessons
provide a truly individualized approach to training. Your trainer will
schedule these lessons at your convenience, and will tailor the training
to your particular dog. This can be especially valuable to correct nuisance
behaviors, or when multiple family members want to be involved in the training
process.
Small Group Classes
Dogs trained in groups learn to enjoy the company
of other dogs and to obey their owners despite distractions. Group classes
are the most common, most cost-effective approach to training a dog, but
class size is important! At the Castle of the Dogs, we offer small group
classes. This excellent teacher:student ratio is rare, but essential to
MarKay's Castle of the Dogs personal-attention training philosophy.
