Perfect Form

Perfect Form by the Honest Kitchen is one of our favorite supplements! Often referred to as "puppy pepto" by our staff, this shelf-stable supplement is great to have on hand for digestive changes. It has herbs like slippery elm, fennel, and plantain to help soothe and protect the GI tract and reduce loose stools from environmental stress, dietary indiscretion, or transitioning to a new diet. They also encourage regularity and curb gas—no surprise it’s a best-selling customer favorite! Use as needed or daily to help support stool regularity and bowel health.

Great Puppy Day School & Manners Boot Camp


Great Puppy Day School (for puppies 16 weeks old and younger): Great Puppy Day School is our program exclusively tailored for young puppies to work extensively with our talented, professional trainers. Pups spend 4 half-days per week for 4 weeks at our facility learning all the basics and more! This program provides a safe and structured environment where your puppy gets the training, socialization, enrichment and other valuable life skills they need in order to become a confident, well-rounded companion for your family.


Manners Boot Camp (for dogs older than 16 weeks): Manners Boot Camp is our program designed for older puppies and adult dogs to work directly with our talented, professional trainers. Dogs spend 4 full days per week at our facility in this 3 week program. 


Our Training Style


As with all of our training at What a Great Dog! Training Center, we utilize positive, reward-based training methods in all of our day training, group classes and private lessons. We’re excited to share how fun AND effective positive training is with people new to the techniques!

 

Our Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) strategies are both humane and effective while utilizing the most recent scientific evidence for canine behavior modification. This strategy aligns with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) position statement.
