Pet Boarding Training near Lindstrom

“I recently picked up my 5-year-old, high-strung, stubborn-headed lab after a 30-day board and train program with Xdog Training, and I could not be happier with the results. My life has changed for the better with this dog.

What they accomplished feels like nothing short of pure magic. My dog was a stubborn big lab with absolutely no manners. He is now 100% more manageable thanks to the great training he received. I am so excited to continue with what I've learned and help my boy be the best he can be. If you have a difficult dog, I highly recommend Xdog Training.“

“We love coming here even though its an hour drive for me. Very accommodating. Vets and staff and friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Brad fixed my line and our blue healer now won’t go near the line or bother anyone by going into the street after people ! Love the underground system“

“I cannot recommend Denise and her Hansen Kennels training facility highly enough. She is an absolute gem in the dog training world. From behavior modification to obedience training, sport work, detection work and beyond, Denise’s expertise covers it all. She is one of the few people in the world I trust wholeheartedly to send my dogs for boarding/training, knowing they’ll receive the best care possible.

Growing up with a father who was a breeder and trainer of champion sporting dogs, I vetted a number of trainers and training facilities carefully before selecting Hansen Kennels. Denise has an incredible gift for working with dogs. She is patient, knowledgeable, and has a deep understanding of canine behavior. Whether it’s refining a dog’s obedience or pushing them to excel in more specialized areas, Denise approaches each training session with a level of care and precision that you don’t see every day. She’s truly passionate about the work she does, and it shows in the results.

Her facility is top-notch as well. It’s clean, well-maintained, and features 15 acres with walking trails. The kennels are safe, comfortable, and spacious at 6x10. Water is available in multiple areas, including a 50 gallon water truck on the training field, to ensure the dogs are always hydrated. And, Denise is sure to remind us often, while training, to water our dogs. It’s clear that Denise puts a great deal of thought and effort into the environment she’s created for the dogs.

Denise’s commitment to responsible breeding practices is another reason why I trust her so much. What’s more, Denise goes above and beyond, even working with rescue organization dogs to provide training, vetting and care before they find their forever home. The dogs she works with are truly lucky to have her guidance.

For me, we wouldn’t trust anyone else, knowing we have Denise. Denise’s facility and services are second to none, and I can confidently say she is a true leader in the dog training world. We have boarded and trained our dogs with her. They come back home happy, relaxed, and behaving even better than before. The next time they see Denise for training, they act like she’s a long-lost friend that they are so excited to see again and again. Seeing both our dogs reactions to her, shows us how much they love and respect her. She will teach you how to get the same results. Denise doesn’t just help owners train their dogs – she helps them build a lifelong bond with them.“
