Q: |
I
live far away from your school and would prefer not to drive
that distance for my dog to get trained. |
| A: |
Not to worry … Circle
Star Pet Resort offers an optional round-trip transportation
program for your dog so that you don’t have to travel at all.
We will arrive at your door and pick-up your dog, transport
them safely to school, and then return them back to your home
after he/she has successfully completed our training program.
We can even teach you how to work with your well trained dog
at your home. |
|
Q: |
Two to four weeks is a long time to be away from my dog. Will
he/she miss me? Remember me? |
| A: |
We have found that the
owners have a harder time being away from the dog than the dog
has being away from the owner. Here at school, the doggies are
very busy all day long. Although they learn so much while they
are here, they also have plenty of time to exercise and play.
It doesn’t make a difference if your dog stayed with us for
two weeks or two years … he/she will absolutely remember you
after attending school. |
|
Q: |
How many dogs do you train at one time? |
| A: |
We take only
6
dogs per trainer. We would
rather do a great job with a few dogs than an average job with
many. Because we only take a few dogs at a time, we are fresh
and happy when we train, not worn out and cranky.
|
|
Q: |
What type of training techniques do you use to train the dogs? |
| A: |
Every trainer at Circle
Star Pet Resort is here because they LOVE dogs. We use our own
unique combination of techniques that are very humane. We are
not a one size fits all training school. We get to know your
dog. Every training session is tailored to your dog’s unique
personality combined with your wants and needs. |
|
Q: |
Will my dog listen to me if it has been trained by someone
else? |
| A: |
Yes, we have several full
time trainers at Circle Star Pet Resort. Your dog will have
training sessions with all of them so that he/she doesn’t get
used to responding to just one person. Afterwards, you’ll
receive and intensive, one on one, private lesson when you dog
graduates. During this session, you will have as much hands on
practice with your dog as you need so that your dog is
responding appropriately to your commands. |
|
Q: |
Will my dog actually listen to my commands when there is a lot
of other “stuff” going on? |
| A: |
Yes! After we teach
your dog the basic commands and we know that he/she completely
understands them, we add distractions. We use food on the
ground, loose dogs, other people, cars, tractors, horses and
cattle as distractions. Your dog will learn to ignore
everything else but your command. |
|
Q: |
Will my dog be happy and well cared for while away at school?
He/she is very spoiled at home. |
| A: |
Our four legged
students are treated like royalty at Circle Star Pet Resort.
Our school is like camp for dogs! There is so much to do, they
may not even miss you! |
|
Q: |
Can I come visit my dog while it’s being trained?
|
| A: |
Absolutely! You can
come visit your dog anytime you’d like. No appointments
necessary. We are very proud of our operation and invite you
to “drop in” on us anytime. We are open from 8:00 a.m. -5:00
p.m. every day of the year. We are closed from 12-1 for lunch. |
|
Q: |
My dog is on a special diet and medication. Will you continue
this while he/she is at school? |
| A: |
Your dog’s health and
well being are our #1 concern at Circle Star Pet Resort. We
will administer any type of medication that your dog needs at
no extra charge. Special diets are taken very seriously and
will be strictly followed while your dog is here.
|
|
Q: |
What is the average day like for my dog while attending Circle
Star Pet Resort school? |
| A: |
Your dog will have a
very full day. First he/she will have breakfast. Then, with
your permission, your dog will be matched with a buddy and let
out onto the play yard. There are forts, pools, bacon flavored
bubble machines, giant dog popsicles and lots of toys on the
play yard. Afterwards, the agility trainer will take him/her
for a private lesson on the agility equipment. We do this for
fun, for co-ordination and for confidence! If your dog still
has an over abundance of energy, with your permission, we will
gladly teach him or her how to jog on the treadmill. When your
pet is relaxed, we will begin school. These lessons are fun
for dogs. Somewhere during the day, we’ll get a great photo of
your dog having fun and post it on face book that night. At
the end of the day, your dog will have dinner and settle in
for a relaxing evening with soft lamplight and music.

|
Q: |
What does 36 years of training experience actually mean to me?
|
| A: |
It means that your pet
is in the capable hands of someone with vast experience, who
has many different ways of achieving results depending on how
your pet likes to learn. Years of experience also produces
great timing, making it easy for your pet to get the fast
feedback they need to succeed. |
