Where The Dog Training Takes Place

When developing the business, instead of working from a fenced yard area, or an enclosed facility, it was determined that overall, the best place to train any dog in Fort Smith was in public places, specifically public city parks.

Training in these public park areas provides a vast array of surfaces, sights, sounds, smells that dogs will encounter in everyday life.

Dogs will not experience that in enclosed facilities with manufactured settings.

The Reason For Dog Training In Public Places

Dogs experience their training in a legitimate social environment with people and their animals passing by, along with every type of environmental contact they experience in real life. Concrete, grass, wood, trees, playgrounds, water, ducks, geese, squirrels. To prepare the dog for real social life as they train.

Having those elements available, while being able to control all aspects of training is important in producing the most comprehensive training experience possible.

That well-rounded dog training experience does not leave a dog lacking in the socialization often missing in the sterile environment of a training facility.
