About Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center

What they offer

Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center, a veterinary hospital at 8681 Lincoln Avenue, runs a training academy led by its pet behavior specialist alongside its medical, boarding and grooming services. The academy offers group classes, private lessons, all-day training, training while boarding, play sessions and phone and video consults.

Group classes

Classes come in three levels. Beginner classes include Perfect Puppy with AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy certification and group play and train for socialization. Advanced classes include Companion Dog Essentials levels 1 and 2 and AKC Canine Good Citizen with certification, and specialty classes cover agility, Hiking Hound, sporting classes, scentwork and Treibball.

Private and behavior training

Private sessions with the owner and dog address specific problems one-on-one, and the behavior specialist identifies problem behaviors and their source to build a plan. Dogs boarding at the hospital can have training sessions on request. Dogs in the training program must be current on required vaccinations. The staff page describes the hospital's trainer as an animal trainer since 1992 who began in-home dog training and behavior consultation in 1996.
