Day Training


We love to train dogs! 
Not everyone has the time, energy, skills or interest to train. Yet the benefits of living with a well trained animal are countless. If your schedule makes it difficult to train your dog consistently, or you are encountering behavior problems, our Day Training program is for you. 

Our Programs

Most of our training packages include different modules to choose from. Our most popular module is the 3:1 module which includes 3 days of training and 1 private training session with the owner/handler.
Puppy Headstart
At Grateful Dog Training, Inc. we understand a well balanced dog is all about foundations. Suitable for puppies 5 months old and younger, we focus on puppy's socialization; willingness to offer behaviors and work for rewards; emotional control and attention and focus. Our program is designed with your puppy's enrichment, education and and enjoyment in mind! Each day includes time spent meeting and greeting new people; training foundation behaviors; supervised age and stage appropriate dog/dog play; body handling; house and crate training; navigating confidence course equipment and food puzzle toys; field trips; and of course nap time! Puppies must have completed their first two rounds of Distemper Combo and Bordatella vaccine. 
​Skills and knowledge gained:
  • Body handling acceptance and confidence
  • Assessment, management and prevention of undesirable behaviors
  • Socialization
  • ​Basic Training
Program runs for 4 consecutive weeks.

Getting Started

​Our programs are customized to meet your dog's training needs. Each program starts with an initial consultation with a member of our dog training staff where we will discuss your needs and assess your dog’s behavior and temperament. From there, we’ll recommend a customized training plan best suited to meet your goals. We will follow-up with you throughout the four-week period with one-on-one transfer sessions to keep you up to date on your dog's progress. Unless otherwise noted, our Day Training programs run for 4-weeks. 
Requirements
Your dog must be up to date on the following vaccinations:
•    (DHLPP) Distemper, hepatitis, lepto, parainfluenza and parvovirus
•    Bordatella
•    Rabies
All vaccinations must have been given at least seven (7) days prior to arrival and not more than one year prior to arrival.
For those trying to limit vaccine exposure, veterinary titers (except state required rabies vax) dated within one year are acceptable proof of vaccination.
Our puppy has learned so much and we can't wait to see how she grows up with the Grateful Dog's help. Professionals who really care!"
