About The Dog Stop – Trussville, Birmingham

What they offer

The Dog Stop in Trussville is a franchise location offering daycare, boarding, grooming, retail and training. Its services page describes the chain's training formats: beginner and intermediate group classes, a four-week day-training program that runs three days a week, and stay-and-train packages with daily sessions and outings to parks and stores. The page asks you to contact your location for what it currently offers, so confirm with Trussville which formats run there.

Who trains here

The Trussville page introduces two trainers. It says Gianna holds the CPDT-KA and specializes in science-based, positive reinforcement training from puppy fundamentals to complex behavior problems, and that Rob joined a guide-dog puppy-raising program in 1998 and later earned a professional dog training certification through Animal Behavior College. These are the page's own statements.
