About this trainer

Manners Matter Dog Training and Daycare

is led by

Mandy Eakins

.

Manners Matter Dog Training and Daycare is built on modern dog training techniques, using effective methods that do not require the use of correction collars, fear, or intimidation. While traditional training tends to focus on what not to do, our training is focused on teaching the dog what to do. Training should be fun and engaging for both the dog and owner. Learning is a team sport and we take our role as coach seriously.

Manners Matter Dog Training and Daycare offers a variety of services, including:

  • Group Classes:

    Group classes are an economical way to learn training techniques to get the best behavior out of your dog. Our small class sizes allow for a controlled environment to work around distractions with individual attention from our certified trainers.

  • Dog Daycare:

    Our enrichment programs offer a balance of social and mental enrichment. Dogs get one on one time with a care team member every day they are here. Learning new tricks and skills.

  • Daytrain Programs:

    Our daytrain programs teach your dog the skills they need to be a well mannered dog at home and in the community. You will receive coaching sessions during your dog’s enrollment to help keep up with the training at home.

  • Board and Train:

    Board and train is our most immersive training experience. Your dog will live with a certified trainer in their home to learn manners and social skills. Board and train is our most custom training experience.

  • Private Lessons:

    This one hour consult at the Manners Matter Training Facility allows the trainer to get to know you and your dog to help develop the most successful and customized options for training. Your consult includes a customized training plan, a detailed enrichment plan, as well as tips to help you manage your immediate concerns while a training plan is implemented.
