Off-Leash Park Outings
Our off-leash park outings at Magnuson Dog Park provide structured socialization, physical exercise, and positive reinforcement training. Dogs engage in recall practice, impulse control exercises, and supervised play while receiving individualized attention in small groups. Each session concludes with detailed email updates and photos documenting your dog's progress and experiences.
Training Walks
These focused training walks address specific behavioral goals using science-based positive reinforcement techniques. Sessions include loose leash walking instruction, attention exercises, and management strategies for reactive behaviors. Certified trainers work one-on-one with dogs to develop customized solutions that owners can implement consistently in their daily routines.
Coaching Sessions
Interactive coaching sessions teach owners clicker training fundamentals and behavior modification techniques. Participants learn to communicate effectively with their pets through hands-on practice during walks or in-home sessions. The curriculum covers basic obedience, problem-solving approaches, and relationship-building exercises tailored to each dog's unique needs.
Dog Boarding
Our in-home boarding provides a comfortable, dog-friendly environment with 24/7 caregiver supervision. The Columbia City location features a secure fenced yard and nearby park access. We maintain strict safety protocols, only accepting one household at a time with a maximum of two dogs to ensure personalized care and attention throughout their stay.
Meet and Greet
This complimentary introductory session allows us to assess compatibility between your dog and our services. We conduct behavioral evaluations, discuss training history, and demonstrate our handling techniques while letting pets acclimate to our staff. The meeting helps establish trust and ensures we can meet specific care requirements before scheduling regular services.
