Training

We use positive training techniques.

Could your dog use some help with their manners? We can help!

At Paws & Pals Pet Resort, our dog training programs are presented in partnership with Unleashed Behavior & Training Services. Together, we offer a complete series of training classes for puppies as well as adult dogs. Our professional trainers have earned the highest levels of industry certification and have over 30-years of real-world experience, including working with rescued and adopted dogs that have challenging issues due to their difficult pasts. Our trainers have a genuine love for dogs and a true desire to make your training experience as successful as possible. If you are looking for loving, humane, and efficient dog training in Prior Lake and the surrounding areas, we have you covered!

Our Dog Training Services

At Paws & Pals Pet Resort, we use positive training techniques based on Behavior Modification. We strive to teach your dog to want to work for you. Nothing that happens during training should break down your relationship with your dog. You want a companion, best friend, and treasured member of the family. Everything you do in training should work to build the relationship you desire. All of our classes and programs are designed with that in mind. We are here to help you develop a rewarding and positive relationship with your pet.

Refresher Obedience Training

While your dog is playing or staying with us, our staff will refresh basic obedience training with repetition and plenty of positive reinforcement. Daily 15 to 20-minute sessions may include a variety of learned behaviors, including sit, down, stay, come, and heel. We will also incorporate distractions as needed. We can even teach them some fun tricks!

The more often your pet participates in our refresher program, the more advanced they will become. Depending on your dog and their behavior, we recommend at least three to five sessions. Notes will be provided as needed, and we will demonstrate the behavior to you after the last session and assist you with “knowledge transfer.” The only prerequisite is completion of a previous obedience class or equivalent training.

Requirements

No dogs on the first night of class. The first class is for the human end of the leash only.
There must be 1 adult handler per dog. Please wear comfortable shoes, as we will be doing some moving around. Other supplies such as treats and leashes will be discussed the first week during orientation. Once again, no dogs the first week.
