However, it is important to only progress at your dog’s pace to ensure each training session affords a solid foundation before moving forward to the next step of difficulty; therefore, the frequency of training sessions and homework is an important factor and some dogs pace may require additional lessons at additional fees to reach program goals & owner expectations.  All training packages are non-refundable.

All dogs are unique and learn at a different pace. Each training topic is taught and designed to build upon previous skills learned. Our goal is to teach as many topics for each dog in the training program, as possible, as well as incorporate reasonable owner goals. However, it is important to only progress at your dog’s pace to ensure each training session affords a solid foundation before moving forward to the next step of difficulty; therefore, the frequency of training sessions and homework is an important factor and some dogs pace may require additional lessons at additional fees to reach program goals & owner expectations.  All training packages are non-refundable.

Private Dog Training Lessons

We’ll work toward your individual goals geared to your dogs’ needs. We'll cover problem solving, sit, down, stay, come, leave it and more… using tools given in class to apply to your dog’s specific concerns and to be used with consistency at home. Private Lessons can be scheduled at Henderson Pet Resort or In-Home, based on location and availability.

Fungility

Fun + Agility = Fungility

Busy lifestyles can limit your dog to few opportunities of meaningful mental and physical activity. This lack of positive engagement can turn into behavioral problems and destructive tendencies. Our Fungility sessions offer enrichment that fulfill dogs needs through challenges, confidence building and skill development while being rewarded for their achievements.

Fungility is a wonderful addition for HPR dogs to participate in extra physical and mental stimulation as well extra fun and play. Whether your dog attends a Fungility session during their daycare/lodging time at HPR, or you and your dog come into the facility to learn & play together, you will notice a positive change from day one.

Puppy Kindergarten

Our unique Puppy Kindergarten program includes weekly lessons of fun, positive experiences and learning at Henderson Pet Resort. Enrollment is flexible, however, the program is designed to be completed by the time the puppy is 4 months of age. The critical socialization period for puppies ends at about 4 months of age. During this time you can shape the puppy’s view of his world at a stage in the puppy’s life when he is receptive to learning. Positive experiences help puppy to learn that new things are fun and he’ll remember the good association throughout his life. Socialization is more than just introducing puppies to other dogs. Certainly that is one aspect of socialization, but a puppy needs to get socialized to everything else in the world too. Henderson Pet Resort has a wide variety of things and experiences that can be shown to puppy and shared with the pet parent.

Chauffeur Service available for pick up and/or drop off.
