What we do
Our Services
Board and Train
- If you are going away for vacation and need some training for your dog, or you have difficulty finding time to train, this may be the perfect program for you. Our positive reinforcement based board and train program is designed to lay out the foundation of basic training, and any behavioral issues that needs addressing, all while your pet enjoys a staycation in one of our comfortable suites. After completing the board and train program, the training does not stop there. We offer two free training sessions to teach you to train and upkeep your dog’s newly acquired skills!
- 2 week board and train – $1820 + tax
- 3 week board and train – $2520 + tax
Play ‘N Learn
- Have your dog enjoy a day of play, either one on one with staff or with our daycare group while learning throughout the day. We will do several training sessions, focusing on basic obedience such as: sit, down, stay, waiting at doors and the beginnings of loose leash walking and leash rules. Play ‘N Learn is available in 2 and 3-week programs at a rate of $350/week. Price includes the day of daycare at our facility, Animal Inn Pet Resort and Spa located in Lake Elmo, MN.
Private Training at Animal Inn
- These sessions can be done either during the day while enjoying a day of daycare at Animal Inn Pet Resort and Spa or by just dropping by for the session. Owners may or may not need to be present based on the behavior to be trained.
- Private training can work on almost any behavior such as basic obedience but also more complex issues such as dog reactivity or aggression, husbandry training (i.e. training a dog to have it’s nails trimmed), loose leash walking, recall and much more. Each training session is customized to each individual dog and sessions can be purchased individually. Private training can be purchased as an add-on to daycare or a stay for $40/day. Sessions for more advanced behaviors requiring a scheduled time with owner present are $100/session.
