Our Services

"for dogs with personality!"

Please note that every new client needs to book a free assessment before using our services. This applies also if your dog has not been coming for the last 2 months.

DOGTOWN's Free Assessment consists of a 10-15 minute meet and greet with you and your dog.

First, we want to know the dog's breed, the dog's age and the dog's energy level. Based on that, we will bring a similar dog to evaluate your dog's level of socialization.

Second, after seeing where your dog is at, we will advice on a variety of packages that will best fit you and your dog.

We have been professionally committed to taking care of dogs and their families since 2005. Based on our experience, we have learned that the first day many dogs do not know if they are being re-homed when they are at daycare. The second day, dogs start realizing that this new place is only temporary and their owner will come back to go home with them. From the third day onwards is when most dogs have developed a routine and will come to really have fun and learn new things. Similar to when you relocate a plant, it is only natural for a living being to take some days to adjust.

Training

Pricing

TRAINING SESSIONS (Zoom or In Person) AVAILABLE!

This is better termed canine-education in the modern era, since training has connotations concerning negative and positive reinforcement which are a dead-end for understanding of the canine and human animal.

Our main area of specialty is degree informed psychology-work, with an emphasis on achieving domestic functionality in pet dogs. We deal with behavioural issues such as aggression vs. violence (not the same thing), cognitive psychology, transactional psychology, homonculus theory, desensitization training, comportment reiteration (achieving correct posture to convey calm peaceful energy), dog yoga, behavioural training, agility and obedience short-form. Many topics are covered relating to the proper integration of dogs with each other focussed on the optimization of movement derived communication between two dogs versus many dogs. The main obstacle in achieving a training result is the difficulty in involving all members of the dogs associates/family members/trainers/handlers with a special emphasis on inter-handler consistency.
