The Training Tracks Difference: Family-Centered Training
We teach the practical real world skills that families need and show you quick easy ways to maintain training by working it into your daily routine:
- Custom Programs: We’ll get to know you and design a program that meets your family’s specific needs.
- Beyond obedience commands: We teach dogs the practical off leash real-world manners and default behaviors so that your dog doesn’t get in trouble in the first place
- Realistic environments: We have kitchens and living room areas set up in our training centers to practice the skills your dog needs like staying off counters and tables, not begging at the table, politely greeting visitors at the door, and not harassing you when you watch TV.
- Intensive Lifetime Support: We’ll train your whole family in maintaining your dog’s behavior. We’ll give you in person lessons, but we’re also available by phone, text, and even video conference to make sure you get the most out of your training. We’ll even keep your dog’s training sharp if you board with us or use our one-of-a-kind educational dog daycare.
- Kid Friendly: Kids as young as 7 or 8 can master our practical gentle training techniques, and we can teach you to make sure that your dog doesn’t overwhelm younger children.

Jump Start Program
This program is perfect for experienced dog owners who need some help teaching their dog the basics or dogs or families who spend a lot of time with their dogs reinforcing the training. You’ll have a little more work to do when the dog comes home than clients in most of our programs because 3 days a week gives us less time to practice the behaviors around a variety of distractions.

Why is it so fast?
Day school works so quickly because both you and your dog get to learn with a partner who knows what she’s doing. Our owners, Mel and Jeff, decided to start offering day training after – of all things – taking a dance class. We found that when we tried to learn new steps, we often tripped over each other and could seldom figure out what went wrong. The instructors, however, could take either one of us and teach us to do the step perfectly in just a few seconds. Because the steps were second nature to the instructors and because they had taught hundreds of people to dance, they could stop our mistakes before we made them and make it all seem easy.
Dog training, like dancing, is a mechanical skill. When a novice owner and an untrained dog work together, they tend to confuse each other. In day training, your dog gets to learn from an expert trainer, who – like our dance instructors – can guide him past any mistake so that he learns very quickly. When it’s your turn to learn the exercises, you get the benefit of working with a dog who already knows what to do. It makes learning faster, easier, and more fun for both of you.
Your Dog’s Home-Away-From-Home
Training Tracks provides a home-away-from home for our clients’ pets with programs designed by animal behavior experts to meet dogs’ physical, emotional, and behavioral needs in a safe, loving, home-like environment through every stage of life. When your dog finishes training, they become eligible for our unique Stay’n”Play educational dog daycare to maintain their training and can even board with us in a home environment when you travel.
We treat our clients, their dogs, and our staff like family. That means that we have very low turnover both of staff and clients, so your dog can count on seeing old human and canine friends every time he visits.
Great Staff to Dog Ratio: We have a maximum of 5 dogs per professional trainer. We also have care staff who care for and exercises the dogs in small groups when they’re not training.
