Professional Animal Training At Animal Encounters, Inc. we have a training program for every type of animal. The courses listed below can be booked for any type of animal: dogs, cats, parrots and reptiles (to name a few). Our highly skilled staff are dedicated to helping you better understand your pets through comprehensive training programs. All of our trainers hold degrees and/or certificates in Exotic Animal Training and Management as well as Animal Behavior. Most of our instructors have also taken and passed the Association of Pet Dog Trainer's Exam (CPDT). In addition to these requirements, our staff have also passed a company internship and certification course given by our Director of Training. The key to our high success rate, in addition to our expert staff, is that you and your pet will receive personal, professional attention to help you with all of your training needs.
We have several private and group courses to chose from. Typically, lessons last approximately one hour. We want to be sure that you get all of your questions answered. If you have questions about your animal between lessons or after classes have ended, we encourage you to call our office toll free at 888-WILD-411 or email is at encounters247@aol.com. A trainer will get back you you as soon as possible. Please note: When purchasing the lesson packages, all lessons must be used within six weeks of your first lesson. Any unused lessons at the end of the six weeks will be considered forfeit. Check out our DOG TRAINING & CLASSES page for our GROUP LESSONS!
