About The Hub by Pack Animals

The Hub is a Gym For Dogs, a revolutionary new concept that turns dog training into a lifestyle. Like a gym for humans, our model makes it easier than ever to access the knowledge, equipment, and community needed for our pups to thrive. Our core offering is a blend of ever-evolving group training classes, daycare, playgroups, and community events that help you and your pup build real-world skills and establish a healthy routine. These services are accessible via monthly membership (best for weekly routines) or pre-paid credits (best for drop-ins & flexibility). The Hub and its many amenities can also be rented for dog parties!

We can’t rave enough about The Hub, the classes & the trainers. It’s not the standard training classes once a week for 6 weeks, we hated those. The different weekly Hub classes are fun, we really look forward to picking the classes our dog goes to. We started with basic training & practical doggy life skills classes, then we added more advanced classes & ones that teach fun new games. No matter what experience level we are at for each class, nevertheless our pup, it’s easy to go at our own pace & build the retention of each lesson as we can take each class as often as we need to in order to practice & master it. It’s a fantastic learning & bonding experience that’s actually worth our time & investment in our dog.

We have been taking our 12-week old puppy, Maple for private puppy classes here. Andrea is amazing. She is super knowledgable. Just a few sessions and Maple is already showing really great behaviors. Andrea is also teaching us a lot of training methods and vocabulary to use at home. Both Maple and I are always looking forward to the sessions now

Andrea and the team at The Hub are incredible! I got a membership for my puppy Speedy so that we could incorporate training, physical and mental exercise, and socialization in our day with other dog lovers. We started off with a training evaluation with Andrea and Tim, who were great with Speedy (as well as my daughter!) and ran us through some exercises to understand what support Speedy and I would need in their classes. Their positive reinforcement training philosophy is exactly was I was looking for. We’ve been to a puppy social and pack walk so far. Both were excellent and make me look forward to more. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a positive training environment with support for your new pup, fun and interesting classes, and great people all around!

My dog Piper loves The Hub! She gets super excited when we park and whenever we enter the building. The trainers are great at what they do and good at identifying what both the trainer and dog need to work on. The Hub is one of the only places in the area to offer both CGC training and testing/titles which is why we came here in the first place.

Just joined The Hub for my puppy this month and we love it! All the staff is super friendly and send you cute pictures of your dog while they’re there. Super convenient since I go to equinox across from it.
