What people have asked about this business.
What does the in kennel training consist of?
Durham Kennels’s Board and Train Program is designed for pet owners with busy schedules and those who need the guidance, help and expertise of an experienced trainer. If you choose this option, your dog will stay at the kennel for three weeks.
Basic obedience is on leash, on collar training and consists of the following commands: come, sit, down, stay, heel and variations of all of these. Jim will work with your dog several times a day using a method of training that utilizes firmness, repetition, consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love.
Upon completion of the initial in-kennel training, you will pick your dog up and have the first of six private classes. All family members ages 14 and up are invited and welcomed to attend. A critically important part of your dog’s training, these sessions are designed to teach you how to handle your dog and to ensure that you understand and can properly execute all of the basic obedience commands.
how much to train a jealous dog I have 6 of them all jealous of each other....for real lol
Almost any dog behavior can be helped by obedience training. Give me a call and I will be happy to discuss your unique situation. It sounds like you have your hands full!
Why does my 10 week old shihtzu go out side and does nothing bring him back in and immediately he potties
This is very common. I recommend crate training as the best option for house-breaking. Give me a call and I will be happy to give you some pointers on how to handle this behavior.

So after all the money spent the only thing that happened to my dog was he lost 9 pounds and for some reason both his front paws and nose were torn up from “hitting his kennel”. Today my family got a call from the owner and he told her all my dogs behavior was now our fault for not bringing him back for training. I was informed that I would be contacted to set up a training but was never called until today and didn’t even talk to the owner. Im a cancer patient and enjoy my dogs and I informed the owner it was hard for me to do the full training and was told no problem. I just can’t believe someone would offer a service and after 3 weeks of nothing, it my fault and not his!!
