A Blend of Training and Play. Our Stay & Train program offers plenty of playtime interspersed with dedicated learning sessions. This guarantees your dog experiences an ideal balance of fun and education, allowing them to focus better during training. The outcome is improved concentration, stronger retention of skills, and an enjoyable experience for your furry friend!
Opportunities to Socialize. In the program, your dog will have the opportunity to interact with both other dogs and people. This well-organized and closely monitored interaction helps improve your dog's social skills, ultimately contributing to the development of a confident and well-adjusted pet.
Effective Training. At Four Paws Inn, we have a dedicated training zone designed to control the levels of distractions during training sessions. As your pet progresses in training, we gradually introduce other dogs, sounds, treats, and various stimuli to enhance their focus and develop their ability to respond to your commands in real-life situations.
Work with Multiple Dog Trainers. During Stay & Train, your dog has the opportunity to interact with multiple dog training experts. This assists them in associating desired actions with the signals provided, rather than solely with the individual delivering them. This process enables us to guarantee that your dog will respond to you and your family members at home, regardless of who is issuing 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."
