Discover the Joy of Pet Training with Pando Dog Training

Our true goal of helping clients create an even stronger bond with their dogs is at the heart of your mission. Our program goes beyond teaching basic obedience; it fosters a sense of connection and partnership between dogs and their owners. The strengthened bond and mutual understanding result in happier, healthier, and more fulfilled lives for both pets and their human families. It's a service that contributes to the well-being and harmony of households. 

Our program covers essential obedience skills, including potty training, crate training, and basic commands. These are crucial for creating a well-behaved and cooperative canine companion.  Socialization is vital for helping puppies learn how to interact with other dogs and people. Early and positive socialization experiences can prevent fear and aggression issues in the future and promote well-rounded behavior. 

Introducing our specialized Board and Train Program, meticulously crafted to lay the foundational building blocks for aspiring therapy canines, service alert canines, and medical stability canines. At the core of our program is a deep commitment to instilling the essential skills and structured discipline required for these noble roles.

Join us in our mission to empower canines with the foundation and structure necessary to make a significant difference in the lives of those they will serve. Our Board and Train Program is the first step in a journey towards a fulfilling partnership between canines and their handlers, creating a better world one paw at a time.

 Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Training Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to cultivate well-mannered, reliable, and socially responsible canine companions. Far exceeding basic obedience, the program develops advanced manners, impulse control, and public etiquette — ensuring that dogs are not only obedient, but true ambassadors of responsible pet ownership within the community.

This structured training is specifically tailored to prepare both dogs and their handlers for the AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluation, a nationally recognized certification that demonstrates superior obedience, composure, and polite behavior in real-world situations.

Service Dog Training Program is dedicated to developing highly skilled canine partners capable of assisting individuals with a wide range of disabilities. Through specialized instruction, dogs are trained to perform complex tasks — including medical alerting, mobility assistance, and daily task support — that can dramatically enhance safety, independence, and overall quality of life.

By learning to recognize and respond to specific medical events, these dogs offer life-saving support while also providing invaluable companionship, confidence, and freedom to their handlers.

Enjoy our “home-away-from-home” experience, where your dog can relax, learn, and play in a safe, nurturing environment designed just for them. Each guest is housed in their own private kennel to ensure maximum comfort and safety, with daily enrichment focused on both physical activity and mental stimulation.

Overnight stays include a full day of structured learning, social play, outdoor walks, and exploration. Dogs also enjoy access to individual 10′×10′ outdoor runs for sunbathing and a grassed play yard for added comfort and enjoyment.

Prior to any daycare or boarding stay, all dogs must complete a complimentary four-hour temperament assessment and provide proof of current vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, DAP/DHPP, and Lepto). Reservations are only accepted once your dog has successfully passed this assessment.

Training options are available during boarding for an additional fee.
