Play 'n Train
Play 'n Train is SOCIALIZATION, EXERCISE and TRAINING in ONE! Let us do the work, and you'll get to reap the benefits of a social, tired and well-trained dog!
Play 'n Train is an innovative program developed by Certified Professional Dog Trainer Silke Wittig in collaboration with Wagging Tail Doggie Day Care to assist busy owners with providing their dogs the ultimate in mental and physical stimulation in combination with pet manners training.
At HeRo and Wagging Tail, we take into consideration each individual dog's and owner's needs, to ensure the highest quality service for both ends of the leash. In our Play 'n Train program, your dog's need for exercise, appropriate and social interactions with other dogs and staff, AND thorough training is addressed.
While your dog is at doggie day care, Certified Professional Dog Trainer Silke will train your dog for ½ hour two or three times a week at pre-arranged times for a total of 6 sessions, followed by one 45-60 minute training transfer session with the dog owner at Wagging Tail.
Exercises that are usually covered are:
- Loose leash walking
- Jumping on people
- Come when called
- Name recognition and eye contact
- Leave it
- Sit and Down
- Stay/settle
- Wait at door/Reorienting
Other exercises and issues may also be addressed, as needed (instructor pre-approval required).
Cost: $325.00
