The Academy

The Animal Den’s Training Academy offers courses for our canine friends who may need a little polishing around the edges. Specializing in small group, personalized training for you and your pet, our classes are a real life, entertaining, and practical training guide, where adequate attention is given to everyone. The Academy at The Animal Den will help your pet be all that he can be.

Our program focuses on socialization, walking on leash without pulling, healing while on leash, sit, stay until released, stand for examination (your vet or groomer will love you for this!) and the lay down commands. The goal for our classes will be for your pet to follow your directions while facing multiple distractions such as toys, balls, and different sounds while staying on command. Our ultimate goal is for your pet to follow command with you out of sight.

Through positive reinforcement, we use repetition with praise to achieve desired behaviors; we believe that a dog's only wish is to please. As the training progresses, each week we review the previous week's lessons and add new challenges for both the pet and the owner. With open discussion on training methods, training collars and leashes, problem areas specific to you and your pet's needs can be adequately addressed. The Animal Den offers a very personalized, focused class that offers everyone plenty of one-on-one time as well as group participation.
