About Augusta Dog Training And Doggy Daycare – Long Lake

Augusta in Long Lake

Augusta Dog Training and Doggy Daycare in Long Lake, at 2250 Daniels St., is part of a Twin Cities business created by Kathryn Newman in 1996, which describes itself as having pioneered in-home dog training in the area. Kathryn has made regular featured appearances on KARE-11 TV, and Augusta's positive reinforcement techniques aim to build trust and lasting behavior change.

Training options

Private in-home lessons last about an hour, usually every other week, and are tailored to the dog's personality and learning style, with homework between sessions. Packages include Good Manners (6 lessons), the Complete Package, in which the trainer does the homework, the Welcome Home Puppy Package (3 lessons) and behavior modification for housebreaking, separation anxiety and aggression. Augusta also runs board and train, Play & Train, and classes in puppy, obedience, scent work, agility, rally and therapy dog work.

Daycare and care

The Long Lake location offers doggy daycare, with weekend daycare by appointment, and Augusta also provides overnight care, private suites and grooming. Weekday hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with shorter Saturday and Sunday hours.
