Dakotah’s Doggy Daycare Training Center

Training is delivered through ongoing sessions that gradually expose dogs to controlled social environments, starting with low-stimulus situations and progressing to interactions with other dogs. The program focuses on building confidence and reducing reactive behaviors through positive reinforcement and structured exposure.

Dakotah’s Doggy Daycare Training Center is a local dog training facility led by Heidi, who specializes in behavior modification for reactive dogs. The center offers training sessions that help dogs like Knox, a reactive breed, learn to manage their responses to other dogs and stimulating environments. Clients report significant progress, with dogs moving from intense barking at toy dogs to calmly interacting with real dogs in group settings. The facility also operates a separate, nearby dog daycare center staffed by caring professionals who provide excellent care for dogs like Moose. Training is conducted in a supportive, non-intimidating environment that builds owner confidence and dog confidence simultaneously.

Heidi’s approach validates owners’ concerns and provides practical, step-by-step progress, making it possible for fearful owners to take their dogs to the vet, groomer, or on walks without panic. The combination of focused behavior training and on-site daycare services makes this center a comprehensive resource for dog owners seeking both training and daily care.

How to Get Started!

Owners begin by scheduling an evaluation with Heidi, who assesses the dog’s reactivity and behavior patterns to create a personalized training plan. Initial sessions often involve observing the dog’s reaction to stimuli like toy dogs before progressing to real dog interactions.
