Dog Training is More Than Just Basic Obedience
Next time you are frantically searching the house for your missing iPhone, car keys, or a lost leather glove while the dog sleeps on the couch with one eye opened and watching you, just know the dog could solve the mystery faster.
You mean my lazy dog that couldn’t “sit” or “fetch” on command? Yes and here’s why: That four-legged couch potato has 245 million—yes, we’re talking millions—more scent receptors than you or me! Think about that for a minute.
Not only do dogs have a superior sniffer, but they are smarter and more willing to learn than we give them credit for sometimes. Professional dog training doesn’t have to end with basic obedience.
Advanced training and enrichment activities are a great way to reinforce basic skills and manners while providing
an outlet for active dogs or the pampered couch potato that needs a little motivation to learn and showcase their skills.
Dogs want to learn, be challenged, have fun, and experience the joys of a job well done. Enrichment toys and activities are designed to challenge dogs to think, problem solve and stay active through brain games, cha
llenging sensory work, and structured athletics and play.
Holiday House Pet Resort & Training Center offers a variety of training options to fit your schedule and the unique needs of your dog. In addition, our new Clever Canines program offers Training and Doggie Daycare students with enrichment training and activities that best fit the dog’s personality, level of energy and traits of the breed.

- Ball and Retrieval Games
- Nose Work (Yes, you can train your dog to sniff out missing items—for fun or to help around the house!)
- IQ Testing & Brain Testing Games
- Treat Games
- Brain & Mental Stimulation Puzzles
- Agility4Fun
