Training
At Kountry Pet Resort & Training Center we understand the importance of the relationship you have with your dog. Your pet's behavior can have a significant effect on your relationship with your four-legged kid. Training is all about improving that relationship and helping you and your dog communicate effectively.
Our trainers will help you find the right program that suits you and your pet. Since every dog's personality is different we tailor our teaching methods to you and your dog's needs. Each program we offer is uniquely suited to help you and your pet learn the important skills through all stages of your pet's life.
We use reward-based training techniques that make learning fast, fun & motivating. We value consistency in our training and emphasize clear communication between owner and dog. Our methods rely on your dog's natural motivation for behavior reinforcement, this creates a happy dog with reliable obedience.

Group Obedience
Class
We are proud to offer the most innovative group class design in the area! We know that not every dog and owner in class will progress at the same pace, so we have implemented a class structure that allows the flexibility needed for success. Classes are broken down into three levels of obedience. Each of those levels have exercises that both you and your dog need to pass in order to graduate to the next level. No need to worry about scheduling your beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes! Our class teaches beginner through advanced obedience as well as household manners! Classes last 6 weeks.
Lodge and Learn
Program
Let us do the work for you. We will train your dog to sit, down, the climb command, come, heel on or off leash. All of these commands will be taught on the left side of the handler. Your dog will be challenged with distractions; like holding a down with a ball rolling by or while other dogs are walking by. Let us know of any behavior issues that need to be addressed and we will work on them. Our training includes a go home lesson and one follow up lesson. When your dog goes home the training is all done, you just have to do a little maintenance.
Agility
Class
This class is an introduction for dogs and owners into the sport of agility. This 6 week class focuses on teaching the obstacles in a safe manner, while building teamwork and motivation. Kountry Pet Resort offers 3 different levels of agility; beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
What our clients are
saying about us
Your training team did an incredible job with Daisy May,
and she has become the most lovable and well behaved girl.
Going through your training set the foundation and baseline for that.
I was amazed with what you did in such a short time, and would
recommend you to anyone. Your course is not just for
pets with behavioral issues, but also to set the learning for young
pets which is what you did for us.

saying about us
We adopted a 1 ½ year old black lab Trista last August. She is full of energy, loves to play and had no training. Kountry Pet Resort has done a wonderful job of training our dog. We like their method of training which involves NO TREATS! They work with the owners as well so we learn to work with our dog successfully. We can now go for pleasant walks with a dog that is under control and listening to us. Trista loves to go Kountry Pet Resort for training and for playtime with other dogs. We highly recommend them. The staff is great, knowledgeable, and really loves dogs.

What our clients are
saying about us
After the birth if our first child, we quickly realized the need for more formal training with our two Siberian Huskies. After months of searching for a trainer that we could trust, we found ourselves to be quite disappointed. We had been to Kountry Pet Resort for 3 years for camp and when we found out they were adding a training program we were so excited. We met with their trainer and immediately signed up both our dogs for the 3 weeks lodge and learn program. It was amazing. They learned so much in such a short time. The training the dogs received coupled with the training that we received made for a very smooth transaction. Within less than a week after completing their training we had our two unruly dogs under control. To know that our dogs were able to receive excellent training while going to a place we already know and trust was worth every penny. Now, almost 7 months later, our dogs are still on point with everything they learned. This has made for a much more harmonious household. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone in need of training.
The Walkers
What our clients are
saying about us
We asked for training help for our 2 ½ year old shepherd/boxer mix and 2 year old spaniel mix rescue dogs. Their trainer came out to the house to see the whole "family" in action and spent an hour just discussing and observing the issues. They then developed a plan of action and started working. They always made sure we were comfortable with the progress the dogs were making as well as the techniques. Often they would come back the next week excited to see how the dogs had progressed and with even more ideas.
Wonderful resource!
