SPECIAL TRAINING TREATS
We provide delicious sliced hot dogs as training incentives. If your pet isn’t excited about our sliced hot dog treats or has an allergy to them, we may have to use grilled chicken, beef brisket or highly prized dog treats. Cost for this is $12 per pound. Average dog uses ½ pound per day.
Sold by the week for $30.
TREADMILL
Dogs require 30-45 minutes of heart pounding exercise every day. Nothing makes a dog more relaxed, easier to be around and ready to learn than a dog that has expelled his pent up energy. Texas weather is often too hot or too cold to exercise outdoors. We can teach your dog to jog on a treadmill. All you have to do is stay nearby while he’s jogging. You can watch TV, read a book or use the computer while your pal is jogging. If you would like us to teach your dog to use the treadmill the cost is $5 per session if he/she is boarding or training with us or $10 per session if not. Sold by the week for $25 or $50 depending on whether your dog is staying with us or not.
EXTRA TRICKS
Dogs love to do tricks. If you would like us to work with your dog to perform a special trick, the cost is $5 per session. Most tricks take 30 days to learn. Some ideas are wave bye bye, say your prayers, bang you’re dead, open and close drawers, turn on and off light, fetch. We don’t guarantee that your dog will perform the trick you want but we will let you know early on if your dog is interested in this or not and if not, suggest another trick. If you would like us to teach your dog a trick the cost is $5 per session if he/she is boarding or training with us or $10 per session if not. Sold by the month for $100 or $200 depending on whether your dog is staying with us or not.
SWIMMING
It’s great fun to enjoy the water with your dog. It’s also reassuring to know that your pet can swim! We can introduce your pet to swimming. Most dogs enjoy this however we can’t guarantee that your dog will love the water. Introduction to swimming involves using other dogs to demonstrate swimming and the trainers getting wet. If you would like us to teach your dog to swim the cost is $5 per session if he/she is boarding or training with us or $10 per session if not. Sold by the week for $25 or $50 depending on whether your dog is staying with us or not.
ONE TIME TRAINING SESSIONS
Have a single issue you’d like to fix? We do “Spot Training”!
Examples of “Spot Training” would be correcting jumping on people, mouthing, bolting out of doors and minor resource aggression like food, toys and people.
We’ll work with you and your dog for one hour on one single issue. We cannot work on more than one issue at a time. Spot Fixes cannot be guaranteed but the majority of issues are usually resolved. Additionally, we’ll give you new insight and ideas for living with dogs that will thwart other issues from arising.
Spot fixes can be accomplished at Circle Star Pet Resort for $100 or we can come to you for the $100 fee plus a mileage charge of $1 per mile.
