Unleash Your Best
Our Training Explained
Our goal is to make your training as successful as possible from the moment you pick up your dog! We simply do not believe in short obedience programs that force your dog to do things, or do not give your dog enough time to learn. This simply leaves you calling back asking for more training, or makes your dog afraid (or worse in some cases aggressive)... We do not believe that is fair to you, the dog, your pocket book, or your time.
You deserve better!
Our facility wants you as successful and self reliant as possible from the moment the dog goes home. Our habit forming teaching gives the dog understanding it needs while forming relationships here, much like his/her home and relationship with you. The training at Mill Pond Kennels allows for a smoother transition back to home, with rules and techniques that can help you create the habits that your own home needs.
