Training Now Available!


Now the place that your dogs love to play can also be the place where they learn everything they need to know to be the best dog in the world! That’s right, At Play with Sparky is now offering training.

Our on-staff trainer is available for all facets of training, from puppy skills to one-on-one intensive bad habit correcting. Two programs we’re excited to announce are train-while-you-play and train-while-you-stay. These private training programs allow your dog to work on specific skills while they are attending daycare or while they are boarding. You will get a private consultation before and after the program, including a helpful take-home packet of information tailored to your dog’s specific needs. These programs are available to any number of daycare sessions and for one- and two-week boarding stays.

Private sessions are also available for on-location training at your home or other problem location (work, dog park, pet store, etc). We will zero in on your dog’s specific issues and approach them in the locations where they have the most trouble. Common in-home training issues are barking, jumping on visits, territoriality, and food guarding. But our trainer can help with most any situation!

Finally, we are excited to offer training classes for all levels right here at Sparky’s! Throughout the year, we will have puppy classes, novice (or beginner) classes, intermediate classes, and even an advanced class for those star pupils who just can’t stop learning. Most classes will be taught in the evenings and will run for seven weeks. The first class will be all about getting to know one another, determining the needs of the students, and fun! And the first class is free (with full payment for the other six classes)!

Our first puppy class starts Monday, Oct 10th at 7:15pm. This class is perfect for all puppies under one year who face basic puppy issues such as mouthing, potty training, basic obedience, and socialization. Starting Tuesday, Oct 11th at 7:15pm, we will offer a combination novice/intermediate class. This class will be a mix of basic obedience and any specific issues the participants need to address. All of our classes are tailored to the needs of our current students.
