Hello and Welcome to my dog training and dog boarding business! I’d like to take a moment to explain how I operate so that you feel acknowledged and informed. The way to begin working with me, even if you don’t really know which program you need, is to complete a Contact the Pack form. You’ll see links for it throughout my website. It helps me look at every aspect of your dog and his or her life so that I can begin to strategize how to best help you before I even reply to your Contact the Pack form.

As much as I would love to answer your questions by phone, text or email beforehand, it’s just not possible at this time. The only way to begin the dog training process is to complete the Contact the Pack form. However, this does not obligate you to proceed with dog training. It helps me to help you. Printed, hard copies help me to stay on top of it all. I also write my own website in order to make it as user-friendly as possible so, if anything confuses you, is inaccurate or heaven-forbid there’s a typo, please leave me a note in your paperwork so that I can address it.

Besides having the kennel assistant help of my husband, I’m it. A one-woman show! That’s why you’ll hear my outgoing message asking you to not leave me messages unless it’s personal and you’re inviting me to a party! Time does not permit me to return phone calls unless you are an established client.

The pandemic has created a situation where your sweet little dog may have been brought into your family without 100% consent and now needs potty training or has separation anxiety. I understand some family members may not be as invested in this training as others may be. I ask, with respect, that you only include those folks with a true interest and active participation in the training. This will create an environment that will generate a much more positive outcome for your dog training experience. My intention is to give you your money’s worth during your scheduled session and to give your dog the dog training attention it deserves. That attention is also achieved with cell phones that are silenced UNLESS you have a child at home who may need you.

Last but not least, I’ve changed my Programs and Prices a bit. I came to realize it’s not every dog owner’s goal to take their pup into total relaxation (CCR program) although that’s my favorite for nervous, anxious rescue dogs or to go to happy hour for graduation. These are now add-on programs after Basic Obedience is completed. I like the feel that it extends my services to the community as one of choice. You can add on as much dog obedience as you’d like to learn or simply enjoy the basics. As the inflation rate has skyrocketed, I have not raised my live-in dog training prices. Even though I could, I choose not to. There’s no need for greed.

Remember that I also offer dog boarding for all breeds. Our pet hotel was once our dining room and is converted totally for the dog training and dog boarding business!

I’m always open to hearing your thoughts and ideas so do share with me. I’ve even taught a pack in Hebrew once the family taught me the commands so I’m willing to help you with just about anything!

Please join my Facebook dog and Instagram dog training business page to get a feel for me and my work and let’s get busy having fun training your little one to have good dog manners! And yes, you will see me with bad hair and in my pajamas first thing in the morn and last thing at night sometimes!

Thank you for respecting my business and trusting me with training your precious animals.

Dianne “Di” Marcinizyn, Owner
