Pick your path

Any Which Way

Park Your Paws Dog Training can work with you to figure out the best path for your furry friend's learning program. Each path requires different levels of time and budget, so please feel free to ask for more details at participating locations.

Please understand that not every option is available at all locations, as each of these is staff-dependent.

Task Focus

We will focus your pup on an individual command of your choosing. This will be introduced and reinforced throughout each daycare or boarding stay. The frequency will vary based on your budget and the command in question.

Group or Individual Classes

A curriculum-driven approach to getting your furry friend going with a set of commands, introduced and reinforced with each class attended. Parent attendance is required.

Board & Train

Our most intense training. Your dog goes on a training vacation and stays with us for one or more weeks while we get them up to speed on a number of commands. The length of time determines what can be accomplished here.

Customized Training

Anything is possible! If you need something to help your pup be their best, please reach out to our staff to come up with a custom plan for you.

Why train with us

Benefits of Training With Us

Training is tricky. It requires specialized skills and staffing, and it isn't simply an on or off. Each dog takes to training differently and no set timeframe can be given for specific commands. That said, our approach uses a balanced mindset which brings a mixture of techniques to coax the correct behavior from each animal based on what suits them best. Classes are open to the public, but other training services are for pack members only.

  • You and your dog probably already know us, our staff, and our facility which creates a safe and comfortable environment.
  • Nationally certified dog trainers either on staff or with our local training partners.
  • A training program that is right for you, your dog, and your wallet, tailored to what works best for everyone involved.
