The key to success in dog
obedience is effective communication between
animal and handler. You must be able to clearly
express your expectations, delight, and
displeasure to the dog, and, in turn, be willing
to consider their instincts, motivations, and
disposition. Every training session encourages
the development of the handler/dog team by
integrating basic commands and exercise with
insights on communication pitfalls and canine
behavior.
We believe whole-heartedly that
group training is your best value. While certain
problems are better solved by one-on-one
attention with a particular dog handler/dog
team, we find that we can incorporate such
attention into the class setting without
difficulty. You benefit by having your problems
solved in the context in which it occurs, and
the class benefits by observing and applying the
demonstrated solution to their own dog's
behavior.
You want a well-trained pet
that can be trusted in any surroundings without
mishap or aggravation. Your dog wants nothing
more than to be a valued contributing member of
the family. We at Animal Motel know that a few
months with our expert guidance will help bring
about years of satisfying partnership for you
and your dog.

only dogs that are smarter than their
owners."
