Stay & Train Evaluation $55
Prior to pet parents signing up for any of our innovative training programs we conduct a 2.5 to 3-hour training evaluation at our facility. One of our Dog Trainers will spend quality time with your pup to get to know their personality and current skill level with obedience cues, ability to focus, confidence with new people, dogs, and places, etc. This will allow us to tailor our time together to have the greatest training outcome. The cost of the Training Evaluation will be deducted from the Stay & Train Program price should you sign up.

Why Choose Positive Reinforcement Training Methods
Using positive reinforcement training methods rewards dogs with praise, yummy treats, and extra attention, making them want to repeat the rewarded behaviors. You will have fun with your dog and build a foundation of trust and respect that will last for the lifetime of your pet. Using positive training methods, your dog can learn good manners including not jumping, walking nicely on the leash, and waiting patiently for attention, and so much more.
Consistency is the key to having a well-mannered dog, so at the end of your dog’s Stay & Train program, you and your family will meet with one of our trainers for an hour-long training session to review your training goals and practice the skills learned during their time with us. This is a perfect opportunity to ask questions and discuss future goals for your dog and your family.
We have used Playful Pups for training, daycare, and lodging for 1.5 years now and love everything they have to offer. The trainers are second to none and the staff is excellent!

Recently I sent my dog, Oso, for training at Playful Pups Retreat. On my first visit I was given "the Grand Tour" and I was so impressed with both the facility and the employees. Playful Pups Retreat was clean, it smelled like no animals were there, and there were areas both in doors and out doors for enrichment, play and snuggling. Oso was so happy during his stay (2 weeks), he made lots of "girlfriends" who were part of his training, that he bought everyone pizza. I received daily report cards, and have a video so I can keep up with his commands. Oso is doing so well at home.
