Don's Pet Care & Training Center

I took my puppy here for training and did not like their methods. I saw so many good reviews. I wish someone would've told me that they use a lot of negative reinforcement. and fear-based training. My dog hated going to training and he was clearly fearful of the trainers. They were also very unprofessional and were quite rude to the dog owners. Since coming here, I have learned that my groomer and vet does not recommend them, especially for sensitive dogs.

Great place to take your dog for a multitude of reasons. They offer boarding, training, and grooming (I’m sure there is more but those are the services we have used) the dog training is top notch and when you want to go more in-depth with training you can opt for the speaking k9 program that Lindsey offers. The grooming is great too! They took all our considerations into account to make our pup look handsome and fresh! I would recommend calling and asking about all their services!

** If you only read one review ** This truly is the best hidden/kept secret in northern Utah when it comes to dog training. We bought our dog when he was 16 weeks (GoldenDoodle) and he was only potty trained and could shake a paw. He will now: Sit, Lay Down, Stay, Come, Not go upstairs, or run out the front door (and mostly not bark when the doorbell rings). We are still working on leaving things alone (like socks, toys, etc) and staying off of people/things like tables, chairs, couches and beds UNLESS invited to do so. We still have A LOT to work on but Dona and Susan trained me as an owner and gave me the tools to succeed in training my dog. Some of the practices they use may look/sound harsh, but not once has my dog yelped or become afraid of me while implementing these skills. After 8 weeks, it doesn't seem like much has changed but when I remember how 'disobedient' he was compared to now, (even though we still have ongoing things to train), I feel way better about where we are at as a family and confident we will continue to help our dog, fit into our lives, not the other way around. Well worth the money spent. I would highly recommend having both parents there to learn the training to help the training be consistent.
