About Dog Zone

Battle Creek, since 1995

Dog Zone has operated in Battle Creek for three decades: "Since 1995, we've been Battle Creek's go-to spot for expert dog training, daycare, and grooming." Contact is dogzonebc@gmail.com and (269) 965-7212.

Training

Training is residential and runs on a weekday schedule: "Your dog will stay at Dog Zone from Monday morning until Friday afternoon to receive training from knowledgeable trainers experienced in multiple training techniques and styles." Program length is set per dog: "the trainers spend time with the dog to determine how many weeks they will need to train the dog based on its personality and learning style."

The stated aim goes past obedience: "We focus not only on changing the behavior of your dog, but also on strengthening the relationship between the two of you." The approach is described as "real-world training that sets both you and your dog up for success in your everyday life at home and out in the world."

Daycare

Dogs are assessed before joining: "Our trainers evaluate your dog for size, temperament, physical condition, energy level and play style. If your dog is a good fit for daycare, we then let you know which days would be best for your dog."

Grooming

Grooming is limited to existing clients: "Exclusive to daycare clients and training clients. Cost is dependent on length of coat, condition of coat and the dog's compliance with the groomer."
