Bob McHugh, a professional dog trainer, offers a range of training services at Wag Resort. Services include basic to advanced training, group classes, private lessons, and board and train options, including single sessions and a comprehensive four-week doggie college program.
The training philosophy at Wag Resort centers around positive rewards based methods. The facility is located at 398 Indian Road, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, and private lessons are available throughout the greater Grand Junction area.
Group classes cater to all levels of training, from basic puppy and beginner classes to advanced training, such as Canine Good Citizenship (CGC) and therapy dog training. Private lessons can be conducted at the facility or at the client's location, addressing specific issues like leash walking, barking, aggression, and more.
Bob also works with clients to create personalized training plans to achieve their desired level of training. The Board and Train College program entails an intensive four-week training regimen where the dog stays at the facility during the week and goes home with the owner on weekends after a review session with the trainer to ensure progress and provide feedback.
Additionally, the 'Play and Train' service allows clients to leave their dogs at the facility for the day or when they are out of town, ensuring continuous training and care. For inquiries or to schedule a low-cost evaluation, individuals can reach out to Bob McHugh at (970) 433-5387 or via email at [email protected].
