BENEFITS OF TRAINING

  • Training can help dogs be more comfortable and confident when meeting new people and experiencing new situations in your veterinary clinic and beyond.

  • Training has been shown to strengthen the bond between dogs and their family members, reducing the likelihood the dog will be rehomed. This helps with patient retention.

  • Dogs with training are often easier to examine, making it less stressful for patients and safer for staff.

  • You can be assured the families you refer will receive the best, most up-to-date dog training. Our staff regularly continue their education in the field of canine cognition, training and behavior to stay abreast of the latest research and its applications. As a result, we utilize positive reinforcement methods and tools that are highly effective and have been shown to provide the best welfare for dogs and their families.  

  • We offer a veterinary referral program that will provide your practice with professional produced cards to give your clients and place in your puppy packets. These cards will provide information on our training programs along with a discount that is good for patients and staff, alike!

  • We’d also be happy to discuss other ways to collaborate.

I recommend them with 100% confidence that my clients will be taken care of and happy with their pet’s training and results.

As a dog trainer myself who know works in animal sheltering, I am picky about where I refer adopters, and The Dogs’ Spot is top of my go-to list. This is who I turn to for help with my own pets and where I send my family.
