Dogs' Den is proud to announce Nick DiVico as our exclusive dog trainer.
Obedience Training
Eager to improve the relationship between pet and owner, Dogs' Den offers group and individual classes that focus on educating the owner on principles of classical conditioning so the owner will be able to communicate cues to get desired behaviors from their pet. Classes start at $395 for five lessons, including an initial session where the principles of animal learning are discussed in a “human-only” atmosphere followed by four workshops with owner and pet working together.
There is an old saying that says “catch a person a fish, they eat for a day, but teach a person how to fish, they eat for a lifetime”. At Dogs' Den, we don't train dogs for short-term fixes; we train owners so they can train their dogs for a lifetime of positive experiences!
Classes will be starting Thursday, October 11th, 8:30PM at Dogs Den!
