Lodge and Learn
If you’re looking to start your dog off right but don’t have time for formal training, have no fear! Our Lodge and Learn program provides a safe place to stay overnight, extended learning sessions, and socialization with our daycare dogs.
Lodge and Learn is available for pups over 10 weeks of age. Dogs must first undergo an assessment with The Barking Birch trainer to determine the appropriate lesson plan.
Sitting Solo
Training is often difficult for pups that get overwhelmed or distracted easily. In these cases, some one-to-one time with an experienced trainer can make all the difference.
Sitting Solo is a choose-your-own adventure for dog training. One of our trainers will work with you to determine what skills your dog needs to learn, then we get your dog to where they need to be.
