About Springdale Pet Ranch

What they offer

Springdale Pet Ranch in Arroyo Grande is a boarding, daycare and training facility on nine acres, staffed by a group of dog training professionals rather than a single trainer.

Training programs

Basic obedience and puppy obedience programs balance learning with play: Stay and Train combines a stay with daily training sessions, Play and Train mixes supervised play with structured sessions, and Manners sessions teach polite greetings and no jumping. Lifestyle Assistance training teaches dogs that already know basic obedience to help at home, such as retrieving household items. Guest trainers run non-competitive dog sport classes such as Rally. Families receive private lessons at the close of each program, plus post-program support.

Method

Training uses positive reinforcement and follows the dog's emotional cues.
