Dog Training

Dog Training Programs

We have a balanced and relationship based dog training program using various training tools proven to be effective when taught properly. We customize our programs to the needs of your dog and the personal concerns you have for your dog as well as professional observations made by our team.
We support and believe in the Mini Educator collar, prong collars, martengales, muzzle training-if necessary, etc. All of our methods are introduced and conditioned on a positive foundation using treats for luring, important bonding time, corrective and rewarding tone of voices, balanced pressure/stimulation training and playtime breaks during training. Your trainer will use some or all of these based on your dog’s individual needs, to assist in a more structured routine for you and your dog.

Woof Tang also believes in a healthy balance of structure, obedience, love and allowing your dog to embrace their own personality as well as embracing what the specific breed was bred for.
BOTH human and dog can live a happier, healthier and convenient life together.
HALF of the payment is due upon booking for security and is NON-REFUNDABLE. The second half of the payment will be due upon check-in. We do not discount multiple dog homes.

Service Dog Training/Task Work Package

$7000

Our service dog training is a 5 week program with the break down listed:
6 week board and train- 3 weeks obedience and 2 weeks public access and task work.
1 week *owner and trainer* (1-2 times a week based upon both parties availability) training public access, task and scenario work.

Woof Tang specializes in various service work tasks. During our service dog training program we will train plenty of exposure, scenarios, task work, and public access.

Woof Tang is against any false declaration of a disability, in order to bring your dog “everywhere you go.” We value working dogs and encourage nothing more than a dog who is deemed a proper candidate for a job.

At any time that Woof Tang professionally comes to the conclusion that your dog is not a good candidate for the work and tasks desired your program will be turned into a 3 week board and train for obedience only and the remaining will be refunded to you with a $150 inconvenience fee. This would mean- handler aggression, leash reactivity that will not easily be trained against, severe anxiety (it is not healthy to put a dog who suffers from anxiety in daily stressful situations for your benefit). Your dog should be well rounded with a social foundation and motivated to work and please.

Listed below are requirements to enroll your dog into our service dog program.
-Must have a doctor's note stating you have a disability. This note does NOT need to state you are in need of a service dog.
-Your dog must come for an evaluation for approval. Evaluation will be $100 non refundable but can be applied to upcoming service if a proper candidate.
