About Honor Your Dog: Training and Behavior Solutions

What it offers

Honor Your Dog: Training and Behavior Solutions lists its address as "3209 County Rd J, Reedsville, WI, 54230." Its services page opens on scope rather than format: "Our training programs are designed to meet your specific needs and the needs of your dog. We will work with any behavioral issues from severe aggression, antisocial behavior, or fear, to nuisance behaviors such as jumping, counter surfing, or play biting." Alongside that it says it provides "standard training protocols such as off-leash recalls, and loose leash walking to make your life with your dog easier, and more enjoyable!"

How the program runs

The headline product is residential. In the "Pack Training Programs," the site says, "your dog will come and stay with us at our facility for a period of time," during which "your dog will be integrated into our daily training routines as well as socializing with our dogs and other social client dogs every day." The stated content is broad – "Your dog will be taught and trained, they will be socialized, and we will be working on their known issues along with all of the basic fundamentals" – and the program is described as escalating into the real world: "As they progress they will also be given opportunities to go out into public places to continue to learn and grow."

Before, during and after

Owners are kept in the loop during the stay – the site promises "regular updates" – and the handover is part of the program: "Once your dog's program is complete we spend time teaching you everything they learned and what you'll need to know for moving forward with their training." It also states, "We will also provide comprehensive follow up for your dog's lifetime!" The entry point is a booking the site repeats twice: "Schedule Your FREE Assessment … to come out with your dog to meet with us in person."
