      • About us

        We are a family-owned/operated home-based dog training business, just one hour north of the Twin Cities.  For our 15th year in 2023, our main offering will be Board & Train Programs and Services.

        Our methods are science-based using primarily positive reinforcement (aka treat training), but we are not considered "positive-only"... while we ease dogs into learning new skills and give them the benefit of the doubt, we also see the value in all 4 quadrants of operant conditioning, which is why we fall into the "balanced trainers" category.

Refresher Training Details

Details

Refresher Training is $45/night(+tax) for the boarding portion and $35/day for the training portion.

 

RETURNING CLIENTS: Please request reservations in the Customer Portal HERE.

What is included?

For every training day during your dog's stay, we will do 1-2 formal training sessions on-site. In addition, rules (such as not jumping on people) will still be reinforced on non-training days. We will verbally brief you on their training upon their departure. 

Requirements

The prerequisite for taking advantage of Refresher Training is a full Board & Train Program (2-week minimum). Each time your dog comes to stay with us, you will be required to include training for at least 50% of the days they're here, or a 3-day minimum, whichever is greater, so that we are able to produce noticeable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

 
Can't I just board my dog?

Our main focus is on training, so we stopped taking any new boarding-only clients in 2015. We grandfathered in our existing boarding clients (prior to June 1, 2015) so their dogs could continue to stay where they are comfortable.

What can my dog learn in three days?

This varies among each individual, but generally, we have you choose up to three things you want to have sharpened, or one new skill/behavior, if you're only choosing to add a minimum of 3 days of training (provided their stay is 6 nights or less).

Do I get a Private Lesson?

They are not included in Refresher Training, but you have the option to add one at the end of your dog's stay. These must be scheduled at the time of booking.

How often should my dog have Refresher Training?

Most dogs and their families do well with a refresher 3-4 times per year; continuing education for both canines and humans alike is important for maintaining a good working relationship (with us as well!).  Our recommended maintenance schedule will be based on your goals, lifestyle, and your dog's age and level of training. 

Can I add training to every day of their stay?

As long as we have the availability to accommodate refresher training during the entire duration of their stay, we can train them every day that they are with us to make the most of their time here.

Why would I need Refresher Training?

Since we don't do e-collar training (aka: shock collars), your dog's compliance is dependent on the relationship they have with each person. And since most people don't have the handling/management skills that we have developed, the dog's training is bound to loosen some over time.
