Training

The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior promotes interactions with animals based on compassion, respect, and scientific evidence and therefore states that reward-based training offers the most advantages and the least harm to the learner’s welfare. Pinnacle Pets stands by the use of positive reinforcement for all training techniques.

Turn your pup’s stay into a learning experience.
If you’re heading out of town, make the most of your time away with our immersive Board & Train program. While your dog enjoys all the comforts of our luxury resort, they’ll also receive expert training designed to build lasting skills.

Each day, your pup will work one-on-one with our professional trainer in two 30-minute sessions. Between those sessions, our highly trained staff reinforces the lessons through structured play and daily routines, creating consistent and meaningful progress.

At the end of their stay, you’ll receive a complimentary one-hour lesson to ensure you’re confident continuing the training at home. Plus, our trainer is just a message away for follow-up questions or support. We’re committed to your success long after check-out.

Not sure if Board & Train is the right fit? Schedule a FREE 30-minute Meet & Greet with our trainer to explore the best options for your dog’s needs. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
