About Spring Lake Dog Training

About Spring Lake Dog Training

Spring Lake Dog Training is "Located in the beautiful village of Spring Lake, Michigan. Serving

communities in and around Spring Lake as well as Grand Rapids, Mi."

The pitch is built entirely around off-leash freedom: "Training will make your life easier and your

dog's life more interesting. Imagine your dog coming back to you every time you call, no matter what. A

hike off leash? No problem. A relaxing day at the beach with your best friend? We got you. Squirrel?

What squirrel? When you trust your dog to listen, you can give them the freedom they crave without

sacrificing their safety."

E-collar

The e-collar is central enough to have its own page in the site navigation, and the adult program is

built around conditioning the dog's response to it. The collar itself is included in the $900 fee.

Who it is for

"Whether your dog is ready to get to the next level through e-collar conditioning or just starting

their training journey as a puppy, I can help develop skills for you as a trainer and for your dog as a

learner. What we practice in these eight weeks will set you on a path for a life of communication,

friendship, and fun."
