stay & trains
Are you looking for a well-trained dog but lack the time or experience? Doberman Dynamics' in-home stay & train programs are perfect for you! While your dog stays with me, they will receive multiple daily training sessions, seven days a week in the comfort of my home. Your dog will also enjoy regular exercise, enrichment activities, outings to pet-friendly places, and playtime with other dogs (with approval). My in-home stay and train programs offer a low-stress environment with a limited number of spots, ensuring personalized attention and care for each dog. Each program includes private lessons, allowing you to visit and witness your dog's progress firsthand as well as have follow up lessons once your dog is home to ensure the transition back home goes smoothly!
You'll also be included in the process with regular picture and video updates!
I offer lifetime support to ensure your dog stays on track. This includes answering questions and providing guidance when challenges arise. However, if you'd like more advanced training, new skills, or if significant behavioral issues develop, I recommend booking additional sessions for a deeper, personalized approach to your dog's learning.
Reserve your spot today to give your dog the best training experience!

Please note that each training program outline serves as an example of what is typically included. However, every program is tailored to the individual dog, taking into account their ability to learn within the given timeframe and any behavioral challenges they may have. If a dog requires more focus on specific issues—such as fearful behaviors—those will take priority over obedience commands like sit-stay. My goal is to ensure the best possible progress for each dog based on their unique needs.
If a Stay & Train program is not the right fit for you or are beyond your budget, Doberman Dynamics offers a private session package and will soon offer comprehensive online courses. These are perfect for owners who prefer to self-train their dogs but still want professional guidance. If you are looking for just boarding, visit my staycation services page.
