FAQ – Coddled Critters Professional Dog Training

(North Salt Lake, Utah)

What training program is best for a first-time dog owner?

Our Beginner Board & Train program is designed specifically for dogs and owners who are just starting out. It focuses on foundational obedience, leash manners, confidence building, crate training, and polite behavior at home and in public.

What’s the difference between the Beginner and Advanced Board & Train programs?

The Beginner Program focuses on essential obedience and everyday manners, while the Advanced Program builds on those skills with more advanced commands, improved reliability, problem-solving behaviors, and greater off-leash control.

Will my dog learn off-leash obedience?

Yes. Our Advanced Board & Train program includes advanced leash skills and reliability training that can help prepare dogs for safe and controlled off-leash behavior.

How long does it take to see results from training?

Most owners notice improvement immediately after training begins. Consistent practice at home is important for long-term success, and many dogs continue improving even after completing the program.

Do you provide updates while my dog is in training?

Absolutely. We provide regular progress updates so owners can follow along with their dog’s development and understand what skills are being practiced throughout the program.

How do owners maintain training results after the program ends?

We teach owners how to reinforce commands and routines at home through follow-up guidance and practical handling techniques. Consistency and structure are key to lasting success.

What behaviors can your training programs help correct?

We work on common issues such as pulling on leash, jumping, chewing, excessive barking, poor impulse control, lack of focus, and basic obedience challenges. Advanced programs can also address more ingrained behavioral problems.

Is Training Day Camp a good option for socialization?

Yes. Training Day Camp combines structured learning with supervised social interaction, helping dogs practice obedience, confidence, impulse control, and appropriate play behavior throughout the day.

Love Coddled Critters and so does my dog Sonny! He gets so excited to “go see his friends” he’ll whine and whine until they let him back! We have been going here for 5+ years and have found our forever home. Reasonable prices and very communicative staff! We almost always end our stay with a bath and they’re the only ones that Sonny will let trim his nails. I could go on and on about how much I love and appreciate these guys!!

We have loved Coddled Critters, and so does our dog! He is an anxious little thing, and the last few vacation drop-offs we have done, he literally runs to these people! Our whole family loves the every other day report cards we get sent via text, which includes a picture. The facility is clean, the groomer does an awesome job (love that our pup can get a bath and/or a groom before pick up) and our dog always comes home happy.

I am so happy with the care my pups are getting from Coddled Critters it means a whole lot since I spoil my pups. My Mia wants to go to daycare and play with lots of friends Ms. Social butterfly. Blue gets anxious around groups but they have an area for him and they will take Mia over to visit with him. I'm feeling so excited to be able to take vacation and know my pups are well taken care of and loved.

Benjamin at Coddled Critters went above and beyond, and I can't recommend him enough. He stayed late so I could pick up my dog after work, which saved me from having to board him overnight. That level of flexibility and customer service meant a lot. When I arrived, Benjamin took the time to give me a detailed update on my dog's entire day, what he did, how he behaved, and how he interacted with the other dogs. It was clear he had been paying close attention and genuinely cared about my dog's well-being. On top of that, Benjamin was incredibly friendly, kind, and professional. You can tell he truly enjoys working with animals and wants both the pets and their owners to have a great experience. Knowing my dog was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. Thank you, Benjamin, for going the extra mile. I'll definitely be bringing my dog back to Coddled Critters!

We have been boarding our Boxer with Coddled Critters for many years (as well as taking advantage of doggy day care). Time periods range from a few days to 2+ weeks. Without exception our dog is happy to see his handlers upon arrival and has a big smile on his face when I pick him up. Should there be any questions or concerns, they do not hesitate to reach out. There is no doubt he gets lots of attention and is well cared for. And we have total peace of mind. Not sure it could get any better than that.
