Dogspring Training

Dogspring Training offers comprehensive programs including board and train camps, private lessons, day school, and puppy camps. These programs aim to transform dogs by addressing behavioral issues and building a foundation for good behavior. All programs include an unlimited pass to Saturday Rebound group handling classes.

Board and train programs involve the dog living with a professional trainer for periods ranging from a few days to several weeks, allowing for intensive, controlled training sessions throughout the day. They offer a one-week program for most dogs, a three-week off-leash freedom program, and a seven-day Puppy Camp.

Post-training support includes private lessons for owners, access to a private Facebook group, and weekly Saturday Rebound Group Handling Classes for ongoing practice and support.

Pricing Summary

VIP refresher dog boarding is available at a rate of $100 per day. Payment plans are offered through Square Installments. Specific program details and costs for training programs are available on their dedicated program pages.

Policies

For dog boarding, there are no Sunday pickups or drop-offs, and updated vaccine records are required. For training programs, all dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations (or titers), on flea medication, and have been out of any shelter/humane society/pet store for at least two weeks without symptoms. All medical conditions and any aggression must be disclosed. Puppies specifically need to be up-to-date on all vaccines and dewormers, and have a recent clean fecal sample.

Dogspring Training, founded by Nate Hess in 2014, provides comprehensive dog training and behavior solutions. They offer board and train camps, private dog training programs, day school, and puppy camps in Clovis and Fresno. Their goal is to transform “stress-creating wild children into lovely family dogs” by addressing issues such as house training, puppy biting, not listening, chewing, barking, growling, and leash pulling.

The business focuses on bringing out the best in dogs and aims to make life better for owners through practical and proven training solutions. A unique advantage is the unlimited pass to Saturday Rebound group handling classes included with their programs. They also offer VIP refresher dog boarding for dogs that have completed one of their training programs.

Dogspring Training accommodates busy schedules and provides solutions tailored to various lifestyles. They offer a free 30-minute discovery consultation, evaluation, and temperament test to help owners determine the best path forward for their dog. Ongoing support is provided through a private Facebook group and weekly group handling classes.

During this consultation, the trainer will assess the dog’s current behavior, discuss the owner’s goals, and recommend the most suitable training path. Once a program is chosen, Dogspring Training provides comprehensive training and ongoing support to help clients achieve their goals and enjoy life with their well-trained dog.
