Thinking about sending your dog to doggie day care? Our new location opening soon will be offering this convenient service to all of our training clients! Here's a few ways day care can benefit your pooch:

Supervised exercise and socialization. All dogs can benefit from daily physical exercise and supervised play is a great way to provide that. Trained professionals monitor your dog all day long while they run around and play as much as they'd like!

Relief from boredom. Many behavioral issues stem from boredom including excessive barking, digging, and chewing. Day cares provide a solution for busy owners to help keep their dogs mentally and physically stimulated throughout the day.

Perfect for busy schedules. Whether you work long hours, are having a big party, or just having the house repainted, day care is the perfect solution. You won't feel guilty that your dog is crated for long periods of time and at the end of the day, he'll come home tired!

While day care is a great option for many dogs, keep in mind that not every dog enjoys socializing with others. It's essential to consider your dog's personality and temperament when considering if doggie day care will be beneficial. [responsive]

We love hearing from our clients! Check out these awesome reviews! Our smart girl, Pearl, has already learned so much in just 4 lessons. We can eat dinner without her resting her head on the table. She's Great Pyrenees/Golden and can easily reach the top of the table. She goes to her place and settles in till we tell her "free." On walks, she's learning to sit when another dog approaches instead of growling and going after it. That's a big plus since she is over 100 lbs. Casey Ray's has great staff. We probably are learning as much as Pearl is!

I cannot say enough positive things about Casey Ray's. Halie, Kourtney and Zach are amazing! Not only have I been disappointed by the results (or lack there of) with other trainers in the past, but I own a pet sitting business and have seen many of my clients go thru trainer after trainer with little or no results at all. That being said, I was very skeptical in the beginning. After just a few days I starting noticing a huge improvement in my dogs behavior and he just keeps getting better everyday.

This puppy class for starting training tips and socialization is a MUST for every young puppy. This was our first visit in their 4 week program and my little guy went in with tail between legs intimidated--no other dogs in our home and hasn't been around another dog since leaving the adoption center and his 2 sisters a month ago. By the time the hour's class was over, he was running and playing, having a great time. His vaccinations were checked as were the others so it's not a ya'all come gathering. Girl who led class was on top of everything. Can't wait for our next class~!!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Casey Ray's STL dog training! My husband and I have a 2.5 year old lab mix and almost 1 year old Shepard/husky mix. We sought out training because our dogs would pull us around the block during walks or into the vet for visits (to the point one of us could not walk both) and jump up on guest and were very excited when they came into our home. When we showed up for our consultation at the Ballwin location, one of our dogs broke free of her collar and ran back outside as we were walking in while the other one pulled us down the steps and jumped up on everyone or everything he could get his paws on. We knew we needed helped. We signed up for the lifetime group classes and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. After just one week of learning the place command, we could already see positive changes in our dogs. We had guest over and they held their place command until we freed them. Every week just got better from there with the help of Erin, one of the awesome trainers we had the pleasure of working with week after week. She is caring and really understands how each dog learns best, which helped us become better owners. Walks are now enjoyable and we only need one of us to walk them. We have now successfully completed the foundation lessons and started group training. 7 weeks later, we now have two really great dogs that we can confidently take anywhere due to our training at Casey Ray's.

I can't say enough about Zack at Casey Ray's Wildwood location. From the start he has understood my dog's needs and has been so patient with my struggle to be in control in stressful situations (they train humans too!) and all the emotions that come with it. My dog can be unpredictable and Zack has pushed me outside of my comfort zone so that I better understand the role I play in my dog's anxiety. As a customer I really appreciate that by purchasing the Foundations package I am not getting a set number of lessons. Each plan is unique to your needs. My dog is obedient in a controlled setting and he would have probably graduated weeks ago from any other program without truly getting to the bottom of his aggression issues. Zack is skilled in assessing and understanding the needs of his clients and their dogs, and he is willing to put in the effort needed. In addition, all of the other staff at Casey Ray's have been helpful and accommodating throughout this process. If you're considering training, go with Casey Ray's!!

Summer can be a busy time of the year for most people. Here's a few ways you can use your dog's training and 'place' command while you enjoy the summer!

Put a place board or other raised sturdy object in the shallow water of a kiddie pool, creek, or river. Using an object your dog is already comfortable and familiar with can help him get comfortable with being in the water. If you're dog isn't sure about going onto his place in the water, don't force it. Use treats, toys and praise to encourage him until he becomes more confident! You could even transfer this to your dog 'placing' on a paddle board or raft. 

Heading to a family BBQ or to hang out poolside? Bring your dog's place and some frozen dog treats. Let him hang out on place with his treats while you relax too. There's lots of fun frozen dog treat recipes to be found online. Just always be aware of the temperature and ALWAYS provide shade and fresh water.

Make a fun obstacle course using different objects to place on. Overturned laundry baskets, chairs, stools, etc. can all be used to 'place' on and build your dog's confidence. You can even add in things to crawl under or jump over! 

If your dog struggles to hold still in the bathtub, set a place board in there. Use your Place command to give him a clear boundary that he can understand.

Enjoy your summer and get out there and train!
