Send your pet’s bad habits to the dog house. Our dog training programs are built on understanding canine behavior and communication. We strive to teach dogs to make good choices and teach humans how to communicate effectively with their dogs in order to create a harmonious home and happy relationship. Our certified, professional trainers have years of experience with knowledge and skill in a multitude of training techniques to help you and your dog achieve the relationship and bond you desire. We have helped hundreds of pet owners solve a variety of problems, and we can help you with your pet’s issues, too.

We offer boutique-style training options that are intimate and based solely on your needs. For our private lesson programs, we train, first, within the comforts of your home in order to work within your dog’s everyday environment. From there, we venture out-and-about to various dog-friendly destinations and provide our own well-trained pack to assist in confidence and socialization—two essential pieces of the puzzle.

Our programs can help you and your dog with:

• Potty and Crate Training
• Leash Walking
• Separation Anxiety
• Reactivity (inappropriate responses to other people and dogs)
• Coming When Called
• Nipping/Biting
• Fear Issues
• Socialization (dog-to-dog, environmental, and object)

We offer carefully crafted solutions tailored to your needs and pocketbook.

• Private Lessons
• Board and Trains

All of our programs start with a FREE consultation with one of our trainers, to determine your goals and the issues you have with your pet.

Board and Train Program

These programs are available, ranging from 1 to 3 weeks depending on your dog’s needs and goals. Your dog is a guest at our home-based facility in a boot camp-meets-summer camp style set up. We offer board-and-trains with limited availability in order to provide a structured, consistent experience for your dog. Trainers live and work on-site providing real-life training scenarios and limited kennel time, working your pup through several lessons each day. We provide 3+ hours of active and passive training, on average, each day. Board and Train programs are especially good for busy individuals and families that don’t necessarily have enough time to practice with their dog in order to build habits but are able to maintain the skills taught once back home. Options for off-leash and eCollar training are available depending upon your and your dog’s needs.

Continuing Education Program

Certain programs offered through Tin Woof Inn’s Canine Academy qualify for ongoing continuing education. The Continuing Education Program (CEP) details are:

1.) ALL Adult Private Lesson and Board and Train programs qualify for CEP and the price for CEP is included in the program price.
2.) The CEP is a lifetime (of the participating dog) education support mechanism.
3.) The CEP will normally meet at least twice monthly, usually at our facility. The trainer running the program may elect to meet weekly and may meet at other locations they deem appropriate for ongoing learning for the pets attending CEP.
4.) In order to qualify for CEP, the pet and the owner must:
a.) Have successfully graduated from a Private Lesson Program or Board and Train. This means they were given a “graduation certificate” and they completed all course requirements, including take home lessons for Board and Trains.
b.) Attend an initial CEP program within 2 months of graduating from Private Lessons or a Board and Train program. This “activates” your CEP participation. If you don’t activate your program participation within the first two months, you lose your right to participate in CEP.
c.) They must continue to reinforce training methods and tools in such a manner that when their dog attends a CEP class, their dog is not an unreasonable danger or distraction to other class participants. If a program participant is a danger or distraction in the eyes of the trainer conducting the CEP class, they may be dismissed from participating until they take refresher training from the Canine Academy or can prove, through working with their dog, that they no longer pose a danger or distraction to CEP participants.
4.) CEP program dates and times will be published on the Canine Academy’s Facebook page.

ALL Classes, Lessons, and Board and Trains require pets to provide proof of current vaccinations to participate
