Polite Pup Training
Does your pup need some refresher training to hone up their basic manners? Our amazing dog training team is here to help!
We are now offering a Polite Pup Training Activity that can be included with any overnight lodging stay of 4 nights or more. Our professional dog trainers are excited to help create a well-mannered dog that is a pleasure to be around!
Our team trainers will work on basic training skills, such as:
- Sit, Sit/Wait and Sit/Down
- Look/Attention
- Patiently wait at door
- Polite greetings (on leash, dog and human)
- Jumping
- Leash Manners
- Client Specific Requests
If your pup has a foundation of basic training skills our dog training team will work on refresher training to reinforce and expand on their current knowledge. For dogs who have never had previous training, or their history is unknown, our dog trainers will focus on introducing them to basic obedience skills.
To best establish a solid foundation of knowledge, we require a 4-night minimum stay to add-on a Polite Pup training sessions during lodging. Since consistency is key to dog training, we recommend one Polite Pup Session each day of your stay to see the greatest benefit of the training time.
