Philadelphia Dog TrainingBy Misguided Mutts
Vacations, business trips or weekend get-aways could be a challenge when it comes to deciding on the right accommodations for the canine member of your family.
A dog-walking service a few times a day is one option; however, boarding him while you're away gives him so much more. Boarding at Misguided Mutts is the ideal doggie vacation. He'll have his dog friends with him for playing and to help him cope while separated from you. Meanwhile, our human caretakers and trainers will give him the exercise he loves and will reinforce and refresh his training. When you pick him up, you'll find him happy to see you and eager to please. During your dog's stay we'll focus on basic obedience and everyday tasks, from structured leash walking, to going in and out of thresholds. We'll also work on sit stays, down stays and the place command. We'll proof your dog so you don't have to. At home, or wherever you take him, he will know exactly how to behave no matter what new and tempting distractions are happening around him.
Our training programs have been created based on the philosophy of bettering the lives of both you and your dog. From the first time we speak with you we work to develop a customized training that is tailored for your unique needs.
We not only train your dog but we train you, too! We work with you to give you the tools needed to continue the training long after our sessions are completed. We instruct you on your dog’s new learned behaviors to fully ensure that you understand how to reinforce and maintain these behaviors so that there is a natural transition to your life at home and throughout the life of your dog. And even better, most of our programs come with email and phone support and some with our life time support guarantee. We train dogs of all breeds from Dachshund’s, Shih Tzu’s, Lhasa Apso’s to German Shepherd’s, Rottweiler’s to Mastiff’s. For your convenience we offer many types of training programs based on your time commitment and budget. These programs are designed to save you time, money, energy, and frustration by equipping you with the information and knowledge you need to accomplish your training goals. Do you want a dog that understands what behavior is expected and is happy to do it for you? Do you want a dog that walks nicely on a leash? Do you want a dog that is well-socialized and well-behaved in public? We can help you get there! We will work one-on-one with your dog while he or she stays with us through one of our Board and Train programs or through one of our many Specialized Training programs. Just let us know what behaviors or manners you would like your dog to improve or learn and our team will customize a program specifically for you and your dog.
Your neighbors will be envious and you will be the talk of the block about what a change your dog has made behaviorally.
