Stay & Train

No time to train your dog? Why not let a pro handle it for you? While you are busy working or running errands, leave your dog in daycare and we will work with your dog for you. A 30-minute intensive training session will focus on specific commands as designated by you. After every session, you will receive a report of what we did during the session and how you can integrate practice sessions into your daily life in order to reinforce training.

Cost: session - $45

Group Classes:

CONFIDENCE BUILDING

Some dogs are relaxed in new and different settings or approaching unusual objects and surfaces, but other dogs build stress in these same situations. Dogs that build stress may act out with unwanted behaviors like barking, lunging, and growling, while others may shake in fear, try to flee, freeze, or hide. All of these negative reactions to stress can be re-mediated with focused training, which then helps that dog live a happier, more well-adjusted life. In this class we will expose dogs to objects like umbrellas, kiddie pool, wobble board, tunnel, and jumps. We will teach you exercises and techniques you will need to help your dog be brave in any situation!

Cost: 125.00

Then this class is for you! Recall Bootcamp is a special, 4-week class which will show you how to effectively teach and enforce a strong recall in your dog.

Tails of Joy From Our Clients

“I have been a client of Cubby’s since Sarah first started her business some 17, or so, years ago. As my life has changed over the years, Cubby’s has been there to provide services to meet the ever-changing needs for me and my dog. When I take beloved pet to Cubby’s, I know she will be well taken care of, safe and in fact, a little spoiled!
Two of my dogs have enjoyed being at Cubby’s whether for daycare, grooming, boarding or training. Each service provides individual care and attention to the client’s needs. I have found that Sarah and her staff are attuned to my dog’s needs and do their best to accommodate.

Ande, Cubby’s Client since 2007
