At G.O. D.O.G.S., our emphasis is on teaching you and your dog the skills that will allow you to better communicate with each other. Our primary focus is your relationship with your dog, how to improve it, and how to motivate your dog to perform the behaviors that you cue. We do not use aversive punishment or any force, fear, pain, or intimidation. Our training tools include food, toys, praise, or whatever motivates your individual dog with joy, not corrections. Instead of concentrating on telling your dog what NOT to do, we focus on teaching the alternative appropriate behaviors that you want him or her to do. We also help you provide your dog’s life with the socialization and structure that is needed to feel secure, confident, and relaxed in all social situations. Our goal is to help YOUR dog become the best family pet ever!

Doggie DayCamp BootCamp Day Training

For those who have a busy schedule and would like to send their dogs to school, check out our Doggie DayCamp BootCamp Day Training program. Rest assured that while you are at work or running errands, your pups are enjoying a safe, structured, and specialized day of fun that is tailored to suit each dog’s individual play style, personality, training needs, and socialization needs. Our Camp Counselors are not only Fear Free certified, but have had additional education by our team of certified trainers to understand canine communication, safe play, and to teach our BootCampers each of the important foundational obedience skills in our training curriculum. Our campers are separated by weight and play style, and we keep our groups small to ensure that all of the dogs in our care can have a customized experience that is truly unique and like no other DayCamp facility.

Group Training Classes

For fur moms and dads that want to work with their pups to help them through puppyhood, adolescence, and adult maturation phases, our group training classes are designed to help strengthen your bond and communication with your furry companion. Our 6-8 week classes meet weekly indoors in our air-conditioned training room with one of our certified trainers. Our curriculum is Fear Free and will ultimately help you and your dog prepare for the Canine Good Citizen exam. You will receive homework for each class so that you can work on each of the skills at home with your dog. We keep our classes small and personalized so that each pet parent gets one-on-one time with the trainer.

Yappy Hour

For dog parents that don’t have the time to commit to a group class every week, try our drop-in socialization classes! At Yappy Hour, all dogs are immunized and have undergone a screening process to ensure that socializing with friends is truly at the top of their priority list. You never know what kind of experience your dog will have at a dog park – fear not, for Yappy Hour is supervised by our DayCamp Counselors. We are not only Fear Free certified, but work with social behaviors every day and can help you begin to work with your dogs on essential training skills for safe play and obedience. We encourage you to come prepared to work with your dog so that all of our furry attendees can be the best dogs they can be!

Cooperative Care

For pets that are too fearful of doctor visits and pet parents that are motivated to work with their dogs at home, check out our Cooperative Care program. Cooperative Care serves to aid in classically counter-conditioning and desensitizing their fur babies to any of the services we provide at our grooming facility or hospital. Our number one goal is to create a Fear Free environment for every pet that walks through our doors, and our certified trainers can show you and your pets that not every trip to the salon or doctor has to be a scary experience. It can be rewarding and a cooperative experience where your pet is not only comfortable, but consenting.
