About Doggie Business, LLC

Doggie Business LLC is a Holmen, Wisconsin facility that runs training as one lane of a broader pet-care operation. The site describes the business in family terms – "We are a mother-daughter owned business that emphasizes that family-like atmosphere with our team members, fur babies and their owners" – and lists what else sits under the same roof: "We offer dog boarding, training, daycare, cat and dog grooming and have a pet boutique with items for dogs, cats, pet lover apparel and home decor!"

The training menu

Training is published as five distinct formats rather than one program. Board and Train is "A structured program where your dog stays at the facility for a set period while reciving daily, hands-on training from professional trainers." Day Training is "A drop-off training option where your dog participates in guided training sessions during the day and returns home afterward." Group Classes are "Structured training sessions with multiple dogs that focus on obedience, socialization, and learning commands in a controlled group setting," and Private Lessons are "One-on-one training sessions between the trainer, dog, and owner, focused on specific behavior goals and personalized instruction." A Stay and Learn and a Maintenance Program also appear in the site's navigation. Overall the site says, "We offer programs for dogs at different stages of development, including puppies and adult dogs. Training sessions focus on positive reinforcement techniques that encourage good behavior while helping dogs learn important commands and social skills."

The rest of the facility

Daycare is described as structured rather than open play: "dogs participate in structured playgroups that encourage positive interactions and healthy activity levels while being closely monitored by experienced staff." Boarding is offered for travel – "Dogs staying with us enjoy a safe environment where they receive attentive care, regular feeding schedules, and opportunities for play and exercise" – and grooming covers both species: "Our grooming services for dogs and cats keep coats clean, nails trimmed, and pets looking their best."

What the business claims for itself

The reasons the site gives owners to choose it are operational rather than credential-based: "Experienced dog care professionals," "Safe and supervised play environments," "Structured routines for daycare and boarding," "Professional grooming and training services," "Clean and well-maintained facility," and "Friendly team that treats every pet like family." Ask whether the trainers hold a certification; the published client reviews address the trainer as Abbi and describe work on loose-leash walking and reactivity to cars, people and other dogs.
