Special Services Designed to Support Your Dog’s Routine

Special Services

When families in Kalamazoo, Portage, and Battle Creek trust their dogs to Gillette Obedience Training, they are not just choosing a place for boarding. They are choosing a structured environment designed to maintain consistency, reinforce good behavior, and support their dog’s overall well-being.

In addition to professional boarding and obedience training, we offer special services that help dogs return home clean, exercised, and mentally engaged.

Bathing Services

A fresh bath before pickup is one of the most requested add-on services at Gillette Obedience Training. Our bathing service helps ensure your dog goes home clean and comfortable after their stay.

Regular bathing during boarding can:

• Reduce shedding
• Minimize odors
• Support healthy skin and coat
• Provide a more comfortable transition back home

Each bath is performed with care and attention to your dog’s comfort.

Structured Exercise

Exercise is essential for both physical health and behavioral stability. Dogs that remain active are more balanced, relaxed, and responsive.

Our structured exercise sessions provide:

• Supervised physical activity
• Controlled environments
• Routine-based movement
• Energy release in a safe setting

Rather than unstructured play, we focus on purposeful activity that aligns with our overall training philosophy of consistency and leadership.

Training Refreshers

For dogs that have previously completed obedience training, refresher sessions can help maintain progress during boarding stays.

Training refreshers are designed to:

• Reinforce previously learned commands
• Maintain leash manners
• Strengthen recall
• Prevent regression in behavior

Consistency is one of the most important elements in long-term success. These sessions help ensure your dog continues practicing positive habits while away from home.
