Stay and Train

Our Stay and Train programs are best for families that are first-time dog owners, have busy schedules, or just don't know where to begin with their dog. Puppies that aren't fully vaccinated stay inside our home during their stay. Puppies that are vaccinated or dogs enrolled in our basic or advanced training programs are housed in our indoor, climate-controlled kennel. Students will receive two daily training sessions, play time, and enjoy walks on our 5-acre property. Families are encouraged to visit beginning in week 2 of their dog's training to begin the owner education and handling process. If families cannot visit, weekly email updates will be sent and a demo will be provided at pick up. For puppy and beginner programs, please plan 1-2 hours for your hands-on instruction at pick up. For the Advanced program, please expect several hours for your hands-on instruction at pick up. Every program comes with equipment and follow-up sessions after program completion. Families are responsible for maintaining training.

What to Bring: Training contract, payment, vet records, food for the stay, 2 favorite toys, leash, and collar. Please no bowls, blankets, or additional supplies. If your dog has food allergies, please let us know. Please make sure your dog's collar is snug and is leashed before exiting your vehicle.

Owners will be responsible for paying for any damages during their dog's stay. This includes replacements of kennel doors, beds, flooring, and metal walls. Dogs that begin destroying kennels will be placed in a crate.

What sets us apart? This is a small family business. The kids help with potty breaks and play time, but I, Raven Aydt, am the only one who trains each dog. Due to being a solo trainer, mom, and wife, I know my limits. I only schedule 2 dogs at most for my stay and train programs. The majority of the time, I will only take on 1 dog per training cycle. This allows me to solely focus on your dog, not hurry, and provide enough attention during their stay.

We do not accept dogs that are aggressive towards people, other dogs, or have aggressive behaviors with food and toys in our stay and train program. If your dog is aggressive, immediate pick up is required .
