Learn How to Speak "dog"!

OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE YOU THE BEST PET PARENT POSSIBLE BY PROVIDING HELPFUL INFORMATION THAT STRENGTHENS YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PET.

Our trainers build a foundational bond between owners and pets which manages or eliminates unwanted behavior. Acknowledging there is an issue is the first step towards achieving the ideal relationship with your dog. As Chad Mackin puts it, “Your dog is not being a problem, your dog is simply having a problem". 

Our mission is to help owners build healthy, everlasting bonds with their pets. Our trainers employ a philosophy of praise, fairness, and discipline set against a background of patience and dedication. Dog training is a journey, and we assure you, we will be there every step of the way.

PRIVATE CONSULTATIONS

Private consultations are mandatory before any Training service can be scheduled. During a consultation, our professional trainers are provided the opportunity to get to know your dog’s behavior and get useful insights into your pet's daily habits and routines. We will introduce you and your pet to helpful methodologies, which will help you achieve realistic goals. Our trainers provide you with the tools you'll need to ensure your dog's success.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons are currently offered at our facility, in the comfort of your home, or virtually. Every dog and owner have their own specific needs, therefore, we build personalized programs that are tailored to fit the unique needs of you and your pet. Our private lessons offer helpful, hands-on skills for the most constructive experience possible!

BOARD & TRAIN

Think of our Our Board & Train program as an immersive retreat where we can truly supercharge your dog's training. We offer effective solutions to your pet’s less desirable behaviors or establish good manners and proper training before behavioral issues even arise. We can assure you that your pet will remain fully engaged and taken care of in our structured setting through mental and physical stimulation.

Board & Train

Initial Private Consultation has to be scheduled before any training service. Weekly achievements and reports + Sessions with our trainer to pass on consistent handeling skills.

We have designed our Residential Obedience Training program with your specific needs in mind.

Your dog stays with us at the kennel. Each week there are clear achievements your dog will attain. No two dogs are alike. Some dogs achieve faster than others. All dogs can be trained. Some dogs are capable of far more than others. On the day you pick up you will have a session with our trainer to pass the handling techniques to you.

Training FAQ
WHAT METHODS DO YOU USE ?

Our methods are adjusted to fit the specific needs of each individual dog and owner.

ARE CONSULTATIONS REALLY MANDATORY?

Yes. Consultations are essential for us to assess how to best utilize your time and ours. Having a consultation prior to a training session is key to a successful and effective training lesson for you and your pet. 

ANY BREED / AGE / SIZE RESTRICTION?

We accommodate all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs must be current on all appropriate vaccinations for their age.

CAN YOU HELP AGGRESSIVE DOGS ?

Aggression is a broad topic with a full spectrum of behaviors. We will assess the dog and the contributing factors to determine the reason for the behavior. We can help you gain a better understanding of these behaviors and provide innovative and simple solutions for changing the patterns of aggressive behavior.

MY DOG IS OLD, CAN IT BE TRAINED?

While no dog is too old to learn new tricks, age and history are factors that can work against changing old habits and building new ones. The longer a dog practices a habit the harder it is to undo. As with children, early learning is shown to increase adaptability and IQ. Beginning your dog's training when they are still a puppy does not guarantee that they will reach the finish line any faster than an adult dog, but it will improve the quality of your results.

HOW QUICKLY CAN I SEE RESULTS ?

Depends. Most importantly, how committed to training are the pet owners? How quickly we can train a dog depends as much on the humans doing the training as it does on the dog's ability to learn. We may be able to teach your dog basic commands and recall within a couple of weeks but if you aren't consistently reinforcing those skills, they'll remain spotty and underdeveloped.

Board & Train FAQ
WILL MY DOG MISS ME?

Of course! However, we strive to keep your dog mentally and physically engaged to ensure they remain happy while in our care! We also encourage clients to bring their pet’s favorite toy or blanket so they feel more at home. At the end of the program, your dog will be thrilled to see you and show off their new skills!

WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY LIKE?

Your dog will get three to four formal sessions and several informal sessions over the course of the day. These will include learning to walk politely on leash and the other basic training skills, distraction training, and off-leash work that focuses on reliable recall. This integrated program is designed to make your dog the companion you always dreamed of having. 

WHO WILL TRAIN AND CARE FOR MY DOG?

Your pet will be cared for by our wonderful trainers, and highly equipped staff. For over 15 years, Kennel Club USA has been dedicated to providing a positive experience for every client and pet by maintaining high quality, compassionate care, and treating everyone like family.

HOW EXACTLY DOES IT WORK?

Our board & train program is like a training camp. Prior to your appointment, you should schedule your consultation, in-person or online, to discuss your dog's behavior and review an average day at KCU. At the time of scheduled drop-off, you will meet with our trainers and ask any last-minute questions. At your scheduled pick-up one of the trainers will work with you with your hands-on training until you are comfortable with the commands.

WILL I GET UPDATES WHILE MY DOG IS AT KCU?

Yes. We will send you daily updates and pictures of your dog's Board & Train adventure, through your app. You can also direct message us in the app and monitor your dog's good-night's sleep through our DogCams!

CAN I TAKE MY DOG HOME DAILY OR ON WEEKENDS?

If you are interested in this option, your trainer will discuss with you the advantages and disadvantages of taking your training dog home during their Board & Train program.
