Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Positive Reinforcement Only
  • Positive with Some Corrections
  • Balanced Training

Training is delivered through an intensive, structured program based on individual dog needs, with a focus on obedience, behavior modification, and puppy development. Sessions are hands-on and tailored to the dog’s personality, with owners receiving detailed written schedules to continue training at home. Training occurs on-site at their facility, which includes pine-covered outdoor areas and secure kennels. The program includes daily play, structured routines, and consistent reinforcement to address issues like barking, jumping, separation anxiety, and fearfulness. Follow-up support is provided through Facebook updates and direct communication.

Pricing & Policies

Pricing Summary

Boarding is priced at $30 per day per dog, with $25 per day for each additional pup. Training programs are not explicitly priced on the site, but client testimonials indicate the 5-week intensive program was considered fair and worth the investment for behavioral transformation. No package pricing details are listed.

Owners must provide up-to-date vaccination records (Bordetella, DHPP, Rabies), signed boarding contracts, and their dog’s food and medications. Boarding requires appointment-only drop-off and pick-up. No cancellation or rescheduling policies for training are specified. Emergencies are handled through partnered veterinary clinics, with owner approval required for treatment.

Testimonials

Training has been so helpful for us as a family and our dog. We have also used DBR for boarding our dog when we take long trips. She loves to go here to visit her friends. We know she is very well taken care of and she likes it!
– Client

Jon and Rebecca are such great people! We took our dog here for potty training and we have boarded with them twice since then. We have had ZERO issues since the training and couldn’t be more pleased. Rebecca and her boys do most of the puppy potty training program and it comes with some extra training and they really focus on bad habits that you’ve noticed and train on those as well. Rebecca wrote out EVERYTHING we would possibly need to continue the schedule that our dog was on from waking up to going to bed and everything in between! 10/10 recommend every time!
– Client

We will forever be thankful to Jon for giving our Leo (German/Huskey), and us back our quality of life. Dog obedience training not only helps the owners but it makes the dog’s life forever better. I had given up all hope with Leo. He would bark at everything, get into everything, jump all over the furniture, and worst he was terrified of men. Jon trains with authority and is fair with his expectations and how to achieve his goals. He is exactly what Leo needed. We now have calm, obedient, easy to live with dogs!
