Transform My Dog’s training center is designed to provide a stress-free environment.
The layout was designed for Training, Playschool, and Boarding to all be functioning at the same time. The center has cameras in every room with a 24/7 feed to our home and all handheld devices.

Our super cool amenities
State of the art potty yards
Our huge outside potty area is 80% covered to make potty time desirable in all weather. It’s also fenced in with an 8 ft privacy fence to eliminate distractions and stress. The potty yard is filled with pea gravel, making it desirable for dogs to eliminate in and easy to clean and sanitize. It is like a giant litter box for dogs. All poop is immediately scooped and bagged.
All rinsed urine is pumped into the sewer with our drainage system and super-strong pump. Potty time is always supervised, which gives us an opportunity to enforce door manners entering and leaving the yard.
Please potty your dog before entering the Training Center in Our Customer Potty Yard
This area is easily accessible from our parking lot and secured with a 4ft wooden, gated fence. The ground is pea gravel, making it easy to clean and maintain. A poop bag dispenser and waste can are available for easy waste pick-up.

Your Dogs' Home away from Home
Stay in Our Training Based Boarding
Whether you’re going away for a few days or a long vacation, have your dog stay with us. Our Training Based Boarding is unique because we not only care for your dog like a member of our own family, but we also teach your dog door manners and proper social skills and dog etiquette while they stays with us. We also continue their training with a strict schedule from the rest area to potty area to our Playschool area.
Your dog will have a clean and safe place to relieve themselves in an outdoor state-of-the art shaded potty yard with a state-of-the-art drainage system.
Boarding rates:
$55.00 a night | $100.00 2 dogs | $135.00 3 dogs ($45/dog)
If you pick up before 12, you’re not charged for that day.
Drop Off: 7:30 AM — 10:30 AM | Pick Up: 1:00 PM — 5:30 PM.
The calm, happy energy that TMD is able to maintain is due to the socializing aspect of your dog’s experience with us. Our daily routine and the flow of our operations is set up for pro social dogs. The atmosphere we provide is for your dog to be in a social group and not sitting in their kennel most of the day. Although this is the case, we still at times will board dogs that can’t be out with the group for different reasons. These dogs require one on one personal time to make their stay pleasant. These activities may include a game of fetch, tug or find it. If your dog isn’t the type to play these games, it could also be a walking calmly on a leash lesson from one of our trainers. Or it could just be some one on one chill out time.
Extra charges for boarding:
Medication - $5/day
House Food - $5/day
For dogs that have previously gone through our training programs we offer Small Bites! Where our trainers will get in a lesson with them to keep up their skills. - $30/lesson

The dogs are taken to the potty yard every 45 minutes, and during this transition, the dogs are made aware of good door manners, waiting patiently to be asked to walk through each door.

TIME FOR SOME TRAINING
We know how tough it can be to have your dog understand what you are asking them, how to be calm in the home, walk nicely on leash, and come when called every time. We are here to help get you and your dog on the same page so you can have the best lives together. Whether you just brought home a new puppy, adopted an older dog, or your dog needs a refresher, we have the program to help you and your family.
Give us 4 days and nights with your new pup and we will be working on; leash walking, sit and be calm, stay on place, and social skills with other dogs. This is a jumpstart for your dog. We will do the beginning lessons in your dog's training, which will help set you up for success for the guidance and coaching that our trainers will give you to finish out the training with your dog.
On the day of pick up, one of our trainers will spend time with you and your pup to show you what his or her have learned during his or her stay with us.
A week later, your dog will come back for another day of training, and we will go over how things are going at home and make adjustments and improvements as needed in another scheduled session at the end of the day with us. We will also be there to counsel you on any issues you may be having at home.
Have a dog that needs a little extra work? This is a 9 day and night program that has all of the bells and whistles of the regular 5 day program, but your dog gets extra hands-on work with our trainers and staff. Those extra five days can make a huge difference.
This is our longest and most extensive program. We work on everything that we do in the 5 and 10 days, plus obedience commands like sit, stay, and come when called are also worked on. With the extra days, we have your dog, we can get the dogs into different locations away from our training center like parks, dog-friendly department stores, and different neighborhoods to better the dogs in different environments.
Our Keep on Truckin’ class is an important part of our 5 Day Fine Tune and 10 Day Turnaround and 15 Day Extended Stay programs. It is our continuing education class that is held at our facility once a week for an hour.
The class is taught by one of our instructors in our large indoor air-conditioned training room. The exercises taught change every week and you can attend for free after completing a program.

Dog socialization for all sizes
Proper Socialization For Dogs Is Like Putting A Troubled Dog In A Field Full Of Motivational Speakers
Transform My Dog’s socialization helps dogs become better communicators with other dogs. It also hones their skills at impulse control, they learn how to better control their emotions, and they learn how to make better decisions when stressed and under pressure. It is an efficient activity to fulfill dogs and bring trust and balance to their lives. Socializing your dog with other dogs is a great way to put your pet on an efficient path to fulfillment.
