Dante’s Dog Farm

Dante’s Dog Farm offers individualized services, starting with free consultations to understand your dog’s needs and recommend or build a custom training package. They provide standalone boarding options not combined with training.

Their training services include a range of obedience options such as basic commands, leash manners, puppy training, community outings, recall, and desensitization. They also offer comprehensive Service Dog Training, covering obedience, public access, and specific task work like Autism support, mobility, retrieval, seizure alert, and deep pressure therapy. Specialized Protection and Sport Dog Training (including French Ring, Mondio Ring, and PSA) are available for qualified candidates. Additionally, they address other custom tasks, reactivity, behavioral, and specific issues on a case-by-case basis.

Training duration varies; their shortest board and train package is a 3-week obedience course, with longer durations for more intense programs. For board and train clients, regular photo updates are sent, and owners are welcome to visit their dogs in person at any point. They stand by their training, offering continued contact and support after the dog returns home to help owners enforce commands and maintain training. Owners are actively involved in the training process, receiving tools and guidance to work with their dogs at home, whether through board and train or private lessons.
