Bob Burrud’s Pet Service’s

Group Programs include Puppy Kindergarten for pets 9 weeks to 5 months old, focusing on socialization, puppy obedience (sit, down, stay, come), housebreaking, chewing, puppy biting, and non-physical discipline. Adult Companionship is for dogs six months and older, teaching basic commands (sit, down, sit/stay, down/stay, heel, go to your place, off) and addressing topics like digging, barking, spaying/neutering, and relationship building. Both group classes are 6-week sessions and use positive motivation without choke chains.

Private Programs offer In Home Private Training, which is an individually tailored program for puppies or dogs, suitable for those unable to attend group classes or for specific problems. Behavior Problem Solving Consultations evaluate and design specific action plans for issues such as destructiveness, digging, excessive barking, housebreaking, and jumping on furniture.
