Guide

How to Choose Dog Training

At Country Pup Kennel we want to make sure that you are choosing the right training for your dog that aligns with your training goals. It is important to note that not every dog will benefit from the same course of training. Some dogs may do very well in a group class setting while others may need some additional 1-on-1 training before they benefit from the group class setting. Every dog is unique and their training path is no different. Call us today to set up an assessment with our trainer!
