Why is Our Stay & Train Dog Training So Successful?
The Stay & Train dog training program provides distinct benefits beyond conventional group classes or private lessons. Numerous pet owners choose this program due to its unique advantages for their pet’s training.
- A Blend of Training and Play. Your dog gets plenty of play time mixed in with focused training sessions. This balance keeps them happy and sharp. The result? Better focus, skills that stick, and a great time overall!
- Opportunities to Socialize. Your dog will meet other dogs and people in a safe, supervised setting. This builds their social skills and helps them grow into a calm, confident pet.
- Effective Training. We have a dedicated training zone where we control distractions. As your dog improves, we slowly add other dogs, sounds, and treats. This helps them learn to listen to you in any real-world situation.
- Work with Multiple Dog Trainers. Your dog works with several trainers during their stay. This teaches them to follow cues no matter who gives them, not just one person. So when they go home, they’ll listen to you and your whole family.

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.”
