About D’Roman Dog Training and Boarding LLC

Training and boarding in Sumterville

D'Roman Dog Training & Boarding, LLC operates a kennel and office at 2017 County Rd 470 in Sumterville. Its basic service rests on three disciplines: obedience, which starts with teaching focus and control; behavior modification, using habituation, extinction, desensitization, counter conditioning, response substitution and shaping; and protection, aiming for a dog that is alert yet calm and in control.

Programs

The puppy program takes puppies from 8 weeks to 6 months, and an adult program offers several lesson styles for mature dogs. The doggie boot camp is the main program for adult dogs over a year old, listed at $2,300, with advanced obedience also at $2,300 and a $150 space reservation. Private lessons happen at the facility or in the owner's home, and group classes are available too. A service dog program, with advanced obedience and eight months of weekly handler training, focuses on PTSD, autism, mobility and medical alert dogs. Day care, basic grooming and a pet taxi round out the menu, and training carries a guarantee for the working life of the dog.
