Dogs are incredibly smart and eager to learn—but they’re not born with all the obedience and manners skills they need to truly thrive as part of the family. Our skilled dog trainers lean into your pet’s instinctual motivations to instill positive, reliable behaviors in a way that’s fun and natural. Whether your pet likes to jump on guests, pull the leash, ignore your commands, or any number of common challenges—we’re here to help.

Why is Stay & Train Dog Training So Effective?
Because we’re a full-service pet resort, we’re able to offer a controlled training environment. In-home training and obedience school don’t represent a “real-world” training scenario— one with distractions that test your pet’s focus. With a dedicated dog training area, we’re able to introduce different levels of distractions to fortify your dog’s ability to respond quickly in the face of disruptions like other dogs, people, cars, wildlife, or whatever else they may encounter.
We work closely with your dog to establish great new behaviors and knowledge— but training doesn’t end when your pet leaves our facility. We’ll show you and your family how to sustain and strengthen your pet’s new skills at home. Each Stay & Train program comes with post-program assistance including take-home exercises, informational materials, and phone and email support to promote lifelong dog training success.
Stay & Train is a rewarding, highly effective dog training method proven to lead to lasting success. This comprehensive local dog training program takes place over a course of several days at our premium pet resort, allowing for unique benefits over other dog training options. Here’s why pet parents choose us for dog training in Clinton County when searching for “dog training near me”:
Each canine student gets the chance to work with multiple dog trainers during their program. This helps them separate the desired behaviors from the individual giving them, ensuring your dog responds to you and your family—not just the dog trainer.
Dogs learn best with greater repetition and consistency. Our dog and puppy training program includes multiple dog training sessions every day over a number of consecutive days. This process helps us build up your pet’s skills so they “stick” well beyond the program’s end.
Testimonials
“We adopted King from a shelter when he was one year old, little did we know that he was going thru his terrible twos! With each passing day he seemed to get more and more anxious about us leaving him alone to go to work, he was not alone for more than 4 hours a day. He became aggressive and a bully. My husband and I have both been bitten several times and my leather jacket sleeves are shredded. We tried a personal trainer for 4 months and while he helped get him become more obedient he remained aggressive when we left him alone. We enrolled him in daycare at Sweet Dreams hoping he would feel better about not being left alone, but he was still aggressive when I would drop him off.
Elmer and the staff at Sweet Dreams were absolute angels! They were patient with us every time King would throw a fit. Elmer knew that we were trying to help King get past his aggression and he offered to do a Stay & Train for 10 days with King. What a change! We can now leave our house without a fight! We have always said that King has potential to be a good dog and he is finally there! We could not have gotten to this point without Elmer and his staff.”
