About Rae’s Place Dog Service

What they offer

Rae's Place Dog Service is a family business near Tahlequah that boards, grooms and trains dogs from its home, which it describes as a country setting with plenty of space. Its training is sold by the hour at its location. The trainer can also come to your location for a mileage fee, or meet at a public place such as the Tahlequah Dog Park, Atwoods or Lowes to work on socialization or specific goals.

How training works

The home page says training starts with an assessment: the owner describes the troublesome behaviors and those are worked on first, while the dog also learns "focus training", which covers the basic commands and self-control. Rae's Place says it specializes in working with anxious and aggressive dogs, and it also lists help with leash training and pulling. The trainer writes that her degree is in developmental psychology and that she calls herself a dog behavioralist.

Other services

Boarding and daycare take place in the family home rather than a kennel, and the grooming side works with anxious or aggressive dogs without sedation. Ask about current training rates and travel fees when you call.
