About Petropolis Chesterfield

What they do

Petropolis runs two St. Louis-area sites, Chesterfield and St. Charles, and this is the Chesterfield one. Its own site's service navigation carries Training alongside boarding for dogs and cats, daycare and grooming, under a house philosophy it calls Pet Empowerment.

Before you book

This location's own menu sells training, and the site describes certified pet-care professionals on staff. Ask whether training runs as classes, private lessons or board-and-train, and who teaches it.

Around the training

The site's own blog carries a piece framed around the everyday problems owners bring to training – a dog that jumps on guests, pulls on the leash or will not come when called – which is the clearest published statement of what the training addresses.
