    Dan Perata Training and Boarding is a highly regarded dog training facility that emphasizes positive reinforcement and building a strong bond between dogs and their owners. The training method is based on love and praise, aiming to create a balanced, calm, and confident companion in all situations. Trainers help owners develop a leadership role by alleviating decision-making from dogs, leading to well-behaved and well-adjusted pets. The training program is customized to each dog's needs, focusing on issues like resource guarding, energy management, and social anxiety. The facility stands out because of its unique approach, which includes sending dogs home on weekends, providing owners with homework and guidance, and making lessons fun, engaging, and challenging for both dogs and owners. The staff are knowledgeable, patient, and kind, making the learning process enjoyable and effective. The environment is clean, welcoming, and designed for comfort, providing a good space for dogs and owners to learn and grow together. The trainers are dedicated to helping owners strengthen their relationship with their dogs and support long-term success. They encourage ongoing learning and provide support and guidance throughout the training journey. Recent reviews highlight the effectiveness of the training. One owner described how their overly protective Weimaraner, after about 5 weeks of camp, went from being ruled by the dog to a well-behaved pet that can play frisbee and stay by their side when danger is near. Another reviewer praised the staff for their skill, competence, and lifelong commitment to their dogs’ well-being, noting how their dog now adores the trainer and is well cared for during boarding and daycare. A third owner shared how, after rescuing a dog with behavioral issues, Dan Perata Training helped them teach the dog to walk on a leash, manage energy levels, and set boundaries. They emphasized that success depends on owner effort, including weekly homework and training. Thanks to Dan Perata Training, the dog’s quality of life has improved significantly, and the owner now values their dog’s affection more than treats. Overall, Dan Perata Training and Boarding is a top-rated facility that has helped many dog owners transform their relationships with their pets through effective, positive training and ongoing support.
