Dog Training Programs

At TailWag Resorts, training isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether your dog needs a strong foundation, help with specific behaviors, or ongoing enrichment, we offer structured programs designed to meet you where you are.

All of our training is rooted in science-based, positive reinforcement methods—proven to build lasting behaviors, strengthen the human-dog relationship, and create confident, happy dogs.

Explore our programs below to find the best fit for your dog.

Programs Overview

BOARD & TRAIN PROGRAMS

Busy owners who want expert guidance
Dogs with behavioral challenges
Building strong obedience and life skills

PUPPY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Daily structure, socialization, and early learning

Our Puppy Development Program is designed for young dogs during their most important learning phase. Think of it as a structured “day school” where your puppy comes daily to learn, play, and grow.

We focus on:

Socialization and confidence-building
Foundational skills (sit, recall, leash walking)
Preventing common problem behaviors

Ideal for:

Puppies in their critical development stages
Owners who want to set their dog up for lifelong success

DOG ACADEMY

Training for steady progress and real-life success

Dog Academy is our part-time training program designed for dogs who benefit from a more gradual, supported approach. Your dog joins us one day per week for structured training, skill-building, and guided social experiences.

This program focuses on:

Building practical, real-life skills at a steady pace
Developing appropriate social play and interaction
Strengthening focus, confidence, and emotional regulation

Unlike our more immersive programs (Board & Train), Dog Academy includes ongoing owner involvement, so you can learn alongside your dog and maintain progress at home.

Ideal for:

Dogs who need structure and guidance in social settings
Owners who want to be actively involved in the training process
