About Transform My Dog

Training-based boarding and daycare in Dickinson

Transform My Dog is a training-based boarding and daycare center in Dickinson, built so that training, playschool and boarding run at the same time. Its stated aim is that dogs "come in for training, daycare, boarding, and leave a better dog."

The training center

The center has a dedicated training room with a viewing window, a large dog playschool room, a small dog and puppy playschool room, climate-controlled kennels used only for sleeping and eating, and a covered potty yard where door manners are reinforced. Every room has cameras with a 24/7 feed.

Programs

Activities include playschool, group training classes, workshops, daily and board-and-train programs, evaluations and go-home sessions. Socialization classes run for large dogs (about 5 months and older and 25 pounds and heavier) on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 6:30 pm, and for small dogs and puppies on the first and third Monday of the month. Dogs must attend a day of playschool before joining large dog socialization.

What to ask

Ask how the daily and board-and-train programs are structured, which methods the trainers use, and current rates.
