Why is Stay & Train Dog Training So Effective?
- Balance of Learning and Play. Stay & Train includes abundant playtime punctuated by focused learning sessions. This ensures your dog enjoys a perfect mix of fun and education, priming them to concentrate more effectively during their training sessions. The result is better focus, stronger retention, and a fun time for your pup!
- Socialization Opportunities. During their program, your dog will get the chance to play with both dogs and people. This structured, supervised interaction fosters the development of your dog’s social skills, ultimately leading to a well-rounded and self-assured dog.
- Productive Training Experience. At Four Paws Inn, we have a dedicated training zone which allows us to control the levels of distractions during training. As your pet learns, we’ll introduce other dogs, sounds, treats, and more during their sessions. This not only enhances their focus but also develops their ability to respond to your cues in real-life situations.
- Work with Multiple Dog Trainers. In Stay & Train, your dog gets the chance to work with more than one dog training professional. This helps them learn to associate desired behaviors with the cues given, rather than just the person giving them. By doing this, we can ensure your dog will listen to you and your family at home— no matter who’s giving the commands.
Testimonial
“I have been very pleased with the Four Paws Inn daycare and boarding of Piggy Dixie, a Jack Russell/American Pitbull Terrier mix. The staff and service has been exemplary. But, I would like to speak specifically to the 2 week in house training that Piggy received. The training was designed specifically to our and Piggy’s needs in the home. They also provided personal training and follow-up visits for me and my daughter so we can maintain consistency at home. Prior to training Piggy was super excitable and overly friendly. While outside playing she would not redirect or come when called. When on leash she would pull excessively and would not heel. When having guests we would have to either put Piggy outside or in another room because she would jump on and invade other’s space. Since training we now have a very socially acceptable dog. She knows and goes to her place when directed and when the doorbell rings she does not rush the door. When entering and exiting she knows to wait at the door until granted permission. She no longer jumps on people when greeting or if she tries, she is easily redirected. Her behavior on leash is much better. We can now go on walks without being pulled in all directions. Her overall demeanor is much more calm. She makes better eye contact and wants to do well and is much more open to learning new things She recently participated in a 20 person group outdoor photo session without incident. She was the star of photo session. That’s something that would have never happened prior to training. Now we can include Piggy Dixie in all aspects of family life and events. Thank you Four Paws Inn.”
