Why is Stay & Train So Effective?
Stay & Train is our most popular training program for a reason. This uniquely effective approach to training leads to consistently good results that last. Here’s why:
Mix of Learning and Play
Throughout their stay at our pet resort your dog will enjoy daily playtimes between training sessions. This is like recess for human kids—it releases their energy and helps them stay focused on the next lesson. It keeps training fun and refreshing for your pup!
Work with Multiple Trainers
During the program, your dog will work with different members of our training team. This ensures they’ll associate desired behaviors with specific cues rather than just the individual trainer. We want your dog to respond to every member of your family.
Repetition for Better Results
While weekly training can build skills, dogs learn most effectively with repeated sessions over a shorter time period. This method promotes stronger associations and leads to lasting behavioral changes. At Stay & Train, your dog will meet with a trainer multiple times each day for several days in a row, cementing the skills and expectations in their mind.
Dedicated Training Environment
Circle Star Pet Resort is equipped with two dedicated training arenas where we can control the environment and keep your dog focused. The world is filled with exciting things like other dogs, wildlife, people, treats, and countless distractions. We introduce distractions to your pet’s training program to increase their attention and impulse control, invaluable skills in real-world scenarios.
Professional Puppy Training
Congratulations on your new puppy! Starting off with proper training is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your new furry loved one. Our puppy training program is designed to set a strong foundation for your puppy’s lifetime behavior, habits, and social skills. Our puppy curriculum introduces your youngster to important obedience cues, house manners, and exposure to new things in a safe and controlled environment. Our goal is to broaden your pup’s horizons and get them started on a fast-track to success.
We’ll work with them on early obedience such as sit, stay, and come, while addressing common puppy behaviors like mouthing, nipping, chewing, and housebreaking. We ensure training is a positive, rewarding, and FUN experience for your puppy!
Puppy Socialization
Puppy socialization is a key part of our program. In fact, we offer complementary puppy socialization gatherings about once per month. This is the perfect opportunity for your puppy to meet other puppies—and people—in an enriching place, supervised by highly trained professionals. Positive early social experiences pave the way to a well-adjusted, confident, and well-mannered adult dog. Our experts will be on hand to answer questions, provide puppy information, and support you on the path to the most powerful bond you can achieve with your pet!
