Board and Train
All training is done by a Certified Dog Trainer specializing in Greyhounds. Please see the Bio page for more information.
For busy people who don’t have time to attend regular classes or whose physical limitations may make dog training difficult, board and train is a great option.
Our boarding programs are customizable and cover a variety of skills such as :
sit, down, stay, here, kennel, bed/place, wait - at doorways/thresholds, wait for food, recall from longer distances, down-stay, drop (for toys/items)
Your Greyhound will be trained one on one by GreyMatters Certified Dog trainer, Kathy Marggraff. A typical day will include both training and playtime throughout the day while still allowing time for those all too familiar Greyhound nap sessions. Your dog will enjoy their stay while learning new manners that you can be proud of. You will receive photo and video updates of your dog's progress while in training and you are even welcome to come visit him or her if you like!
All packages include a completed progress report and a follow up lesson after training is finished. In this lesson your family will be shown the commands your Greyhound has learned and what you need to know to maintain his or her improved manners.
Contact us to inquire about openings and prices, space is limited.

Behavior Training
|
Often Greyhounds need one on one training with specific issues such as learning how to walk on stairs or jumping in the car. We can help with these issues and more teaching your Greyhound to successfully navigate these tasks with ease and make you proud of him or her!
Problems like resource guarding and nipping or biting can quickly escalate into a serious issue if they are not addressed. This is often a cause for families to rehome their dog. Examples of behavior issues:
Behavior Consultation This is best worked on in the environment where the problem behavior is occurring, usually the home or neighborhood but, may also be in a public place such as a park or store depending on the issue. Packages Some problems may be resolved with only one consultation but typically most owners and their dogs require a longer commitment and more follow up to resolve an issue. Please contact us if you would like to set up a behavior consultation, private training or to inquire about pricing or any other service not listed. Home visits are limited within the Atlanta area. |
