Pet Suites Boot Camp is the way to go when your pup is a wild child! We checked our Gypsy into camp for a week and she returned with good manners, and most importantly, she didn't lose an ounce of her happy spirit and great personality. Everyone at Pet Suites was terrific during the process. We called daily, and our follow up questions were taken care of with genuine concern as well. Pet Suites really cared about out pet "graduating" to good dog status, and we feel our girl was treated with love and kindness throughout her training. Thanks to everyone at Pet Suites.... we REALLY couldn't have done it without you!

"What a WONDERFUL experience!!! Our 12 week-old Bouvier, Abby learned so much and clearly enjoyed her (board & train) stay. Mickey and her staff were absolutely wonderful with Abby and with us as well! They taught Abby miracles and trained US as well!

Thank y'all.

Pet Suites training brought out the best in our new puppy! Their training style is calm and decisisve and they use basic commands to get all the main points across which is just what I was looking for. There were no gimmicks or props to purchase. The emphasis was on patience, practice and kindness.

Our Benese pup will be a big girl when she's full grown (around 100 lbs.) so we worked on teaching her not to jump when greeting visitors. We also mastered sit and stay commands as well as how to walk next to me on her leash intead of pulling ahead and walking me. Now walking with Nellie is a pleasure for both of us - instead of feeling like a wranling job!

Pet Suites accomplished all of this in six weeks of one-on-one training sessions. Our  puppy Nellie felt secure and confident during the process.

Although at six months, she is still full of puppy enthusiasm, Nellie now responds to her commands and we are really proud of her.

Not only does Pet Suites staff know how to train dogs, but it is clear that  they love and respect their canine students!

Board & Train Residency Programs -

Residency programs, also known as “boot camp” help your dog focus and enable your dog to learn at his/her full potential while being boarded at Pet Suites. Your dog is worked with continuously with the trainer throughout each day in order to best achieve  the desired results.

During a Residency Program, your dog will be socialized and exposed to many different situations at Pet Suites, enabling him or her to adapt more readily to new environments and situations.

Of course, your pet will always receive the excellent 24-hour care and attention that Pet Suites is famous for. A Residency program will increase your dog’s rate of learning and make the transition to home stress-free. Two "transfer" classes will show you how to turn the "Alpha" role over to you.

She misses your trainer, too.
