What Is the Play & Train Dog Training Program?

The Play & Train Program offers structured day training for dogs, tailored to their needs. Unlike overnight boarding, dogs attend obedience and behavior sessions during the day and return home in the evening.

Whether your goal is basic obedience, reducing behavioral issues, or improving social skills, our program uses positive reinforcement dog training to ensure safe and effective learning.

Positive Reinforcement and Our Training Methodology

At Meadowlake, we believe in positive reinforcement dog training. This method rewards your dog for desirable behavior with treats, praise, or play, creating a positive learning experience. By focusing on what your dog is doing right rather than punishing unwanted behavior, we foster a strong bond of trust and communication between you and your dog.

Our trainers tailor this approach to each dog’s needs, ensuring effective training that produces lasting results. Positive reinforcement is a proven, humane method that helps dogs build confidence as they learn new skills.

Addressing Common Behavioral Challenges

Our Play & Train program helps dogs overcome common behavioral issues, including:

Excessive barkin

Ignoring commands

Leash pulling

Overexcitement or poor impulse control

Mild to moderate anxiety-related behaviors

We also offer specialized dog socialization training for separation anxiety, using structured routines and engagement to rebuild confidence.

Our Dog Training Reviews

 

Meadowlake 288 South location did a great job training my puppy. In three weeks my 11-month-old puppy knew 10 commands and had no difficulties adjusting to the new home. The staff at the location is knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. I continue to take my puppy to group classes and feel comfortable and more knowledgeable to continue training my puppy at home.
