Toledo, OH (1888PressRelease)
August 17, 2007 - Toledo Dog Training is opening a new Dog Training & Doggie Day Camp Training Center for dogs in mid-September 2007. The new training center is located at 601 S McCord Rd in Holland, Ohio.
Today’s dog owners are spending more quality time with their dogs, therefore wanting calm and well-mannered dogs. To achieve these qualities, proper training and socialization are necessary. More obedient dogs are often happier, live longer, and are less likely to cause problems.
Toledo Dog Training addresses these issues by offering a variety of dog training services to meet the needs of dog owners in the Toledo metro area. “We offer private dog training, semi-private group classes, workshops and our new service Doggie and Puppy Day Camp,” said Tonya Wilhelm, owner and dog trainer.
Doggie day care centers are becoming increasingly popular in today’s society. “Dogs are playing a larger role in our lives than ever before, and dog owners are choosing to provide their dogs with the good life they deserve,” Wilhelm explains. “However, our Doggie Day Camp is not your typical Dog Day Care. Day Campers are given Private Dog Training Lessons specific to the owner’s training goals. Our Doggie Day Camp focuses on training, not dog-dog play with the exception of Puppy Day Camp,” she clarifies. She continues to say, “every interaction a dog has at camp is supervised and specific to the owner’s training program.”
There are many benefits to Toledo Dog Training’s programs. Ongoing training sessions help provide dogs with an exercise to perform while stimulating their brains. This is a great way for dogs to use up excess energy while having fun at the same time. “We also encourage and teach owners how to appropriately play with their dogs, which strengthens their relationship. Play training helps to prevent both the owner and dog from becoming bored.” Wilhelm says.
All training at Toledo Dog Training uses gentle and fun training methods that improve the communication between owner and dog. The courses use positive-reinforcement training and focuses on educating owners on humane leadership skills. Harsh and inhumane punishment-based methods are not allowed in class. “I feel that this type of ‘training’ destroys the relationship between dog and owner, and escalates or creates aggression. Your dog training lessons are meant to be both fun and educational.” Wilhelm informs. She continues to say, “training is not just about obedient behavior, but strengthening and building better relationships between owner and dog.”
Tonya Wilhelm has been teaching owners and their dogs since 1998. Her positive and fun training approach has been building lasting dog-owner relationships ever since.
Toledo Dog Training is a superior dog training center, and doggie day camp facility. Toledo Dog Training is located at 601 S McCord Rd., Holland, OH 43528 with a satellite location at South Suburban Animal Hospital in Levis Commons-Perrysburg.
