Dog Training

Resorts Boarding and Play is now offering training classes for our four-legged canine friends!

Dog Training in Hamburg, NY

Training is an essential part of owning a dog and can be started at any age. Training builds confidence, provides mental stimulation, teaches your dog how to behave and strengthens your human-animal bond. Training will not only help your dog to socialize; it will also keep them safe!

Boot Camp: $55.00/day

Boot Camp is for those dogs who are not quite ready to attend daycare with other dogs or who are struggling with being in daycare. Our trainer will work intensely on certain skills that your dog may need reinforcement on in order for them to be successful in a daycare setting. Our goal is to keep them safe (along with the other dogs in their play group) while working on the necessary skills to play with other dogs. While the purpose of having your dog participate in Boot Camp is to eventually get your dog in Daycare (while gaining manners to be better behaved), we cannot guarantee that they will be able to be in a daycare setting. Boot Camp will be an as needed basis based.

Doggie Daycare Orientation: $240.00

If dogs are passed for daycare but require special attention, your dog will be required to attend Daycare School before they can attend (or return to) regular daycare:

The benefits of attending Orientation:

  • Safety- for your dog, the dogs in their playgroup and our staff
  • Better behaved & well trained
  • Play with a variety of dogs in smaller group settings
  • Socialization
  • Confidence

Day School will include:

  • 5 sessions: Monday, Tuesdays or Fridays
  • Daycare or Small Group Play
  • 2 Training sessions per day
  • Owners will receive updates one time per week with progress videos or report cards
  • Availability to talk with the trainer if they have any questions

Once Day School has finished and we feel confident enough for them to return to full group play, they can attend daycare as frequently as they want. If we feel more training is necessary then we will recommend Day School. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and confident and have the social behaviors needed for their success!
