"Training is a lifestyle, learning is lifelong."
To set your dog up for a lifestyle that promotes optimal health, you must prepare your dog for the situations you put them in.
Think of going to a dog park... how many dogs are prepared in skill before visiting a dog park?
What if all dogs and their human companions were skillfully prepared before going to a dog park?
How different might the dog park experience be for you, your dog, and other dogs and their parents?
Our goal is to prepare your dog before putting them into a position that requires them to act.
Imagine if every 18 year old’s first job prepared them with the soft skills they they need in order to be successful at any job with any company, from that point on.
In other words, focusing on the importance of these "soft skills":
- communication
- listening
- attitude
- problem solving
- prioritization
- critical thinking
- pushing the envelope
- taking calculated risks, etc.
These develop an individual very differently than solely preparing them for hard skills, such as how to use a computer.
Many employers believe people should arrive with soft skills.
We know firsthand how time consuming and expensive it is to invest in teaching someone soft skills, yet we do it at Doglando.
It is the single most important part of our culture, and fundamentally the biggest reason Doglando has the strong internal culture it does.
Training hard skills alone doesn't work, especially when working in a team environment that involves working with other living beings (our dogs).
Much to that point, teaching a dog hard skills such as: "sit," "down," "stay," or "drop it"; only works if the dog is living in a static, sterile environment.
Dogs and humans don't live in a vacuum. Therefore, to prepare your dog to be a “good dog,” we must invest time and effort to help them develop strong character - and focus on soft skills like:
- communication
- cooperation
- conservation of energy
- relatability
- listening
- engagement
- attentiveness
- awareness
- attunement
This is how Doglando’s programs differ greatly from traditional training!
Through each new level of training, we build on your dogs skills, preparing them for real world situations.
-
Video-Based Training Library
Through training, we teach your dog key behavioral responses to specific signals, which we refer to as "skills".
You get instant access to 6 weeks of training videos, so you can start training right away in the comfort of your own home - AND in an environment your dog is already familiar with.
Watch our video training lessons on your computer, smart phone, or tablet.
-
Canine Skill Building
We like to think of Skill Building as giving your dog a "job".
Rather than sitting at home waiting for you to get off work, we offer a full day of experiences that allow your dog to learn, play, and exercise.
During each week of your training program, we'll build upon the skills you're training your dog, and help generalize them to various scenarios, situations, and conditions (both on-campus and off-campus). This helps your dog master the skills and become fluent and confident in them.

Weekly Group Training Sessions with a Doglando Trainer
Skills are great to have, but consistent practice of these skills is critical for mastery and fluency.
Our Adult Dog Foundations training programs include 6 weeks of group training sessions at Doglando with one of our trainers.
Ask our Trainer your questions and advance your skills!
Every Dog Has Their Own Learning Journey...
At Doglando, we treat and respect every dog as an individual being on their own learning journey. A Doglando Team member has recommended the best training package for your dog right now, based on their individual needs and personality.
** Our programs are not "one-size-fits-all". So, as your dog's behavior changes and evolves over time, we may recommend more (or fewer) Enrichment and Skill Building days to best support their learning journey.
Instant Access to ALL Video Lessons
As soon as you enroll, you get instant access to ALL video lessons for your training program, so you can start working with your dog right away!
Your Class Start Date
To deliver the uncommon individual level of training and care that we provide to all our dogs, we can only admit 3 new dogs at-a-time into Doglando's training programs - this happens roughly every 3 weeks.
We'll let you know exactly when you will start Level 2. Of course, you'll get all the video lessons as soon as you enroll, so you can get a head start by practicing at home before your program start date.
*Note: Any unused services in your 6-week package (including Training sessions, and Enrichment and Skill Building days) are non-refundable and non-transferable. Our programs are sold as a system-based training package, which must be consumed during the allotted timeframe of the program.
