IN-FACILITY TRAINING PROGRAMS WE OFFER

We offer four in-facility programs at Puppywood Pet Resort:

Behavior Consultations – 1 session, 1 hour

What is the first step when I sign my dog up for Happy Tails training?

A behavior consultation is the first step when beginning a training program. It allows us to assess your dog’s individual personality as well as the relationship between the dog and the owner. We use this information to put together a customized training program for your dog.

At this session, we will complete a behavioral profile, observe your dog’s behavior and temperament, discuss origins of problem behaviors if there are any, discuss management and behavior modification, outline exercises that can help change your dog’s behavior immediately, and answer any questions you may have.
