Brain Games
Has your dog completed Basic Obedience and now is craving something more? Does your dog love to train, think and move their body? Then this class is just what they, (and you) are looking for!!
In this class your dog will learn to engage more with you, move their body in different ways, work with you from a distance, learn about delayed gratification and more!
Thinking Games for Dogs involves a little bit of obedience, a little bit of movement and a whole lot of team building and FUN.
Nose Work: Intro to Odor
Dogs love to sniff. They sniff to explore their world and to calm themselves when stressed. They stiff to find drugs and missing people. They sniff to communicate with each other. Sniffing is one of the most natural activities a dog does, and all dogs like to do it!
In this class we will turn their love of sniffing into a fun activity for you to do with your dog. No, you won’t have to get down on all fours and sniff with them, but you will gain a new level of understanding when it comes to your dog’s sniffer.
Dogs will learn how to sniff on command and also be introduced to the scent of Birch, one of the common scents used in NW competition. You will learn how to encourage confidence in your dog as well as how to put together your scent containers for play at home

We enrolled our puppy, Teddy, in the Foundation Obedience class with such positive results that he has since participated in several other classes, including the Board & Train program. He absolutely loves his time there. In fact, from the moment our car turns into the driveway, his excitement cannot be contained! The entire staff welcomes Teddy by name with warmth and kindness. Thank you, White Mountain, for providing such a wonderful & positive environment for pets and their people!

July 2, 2021We have used many services from White Mountain College for pets. Where to start, puppy classes, obedience foundation, grooming, lodging plus. The facility is super clean. Staff... read more is friendly and attentive. By attentive I mean listening to every single “important detail” about Sobaka’s past, present and future life with out a single eyeroll 😎. The instructors, especially Sue and Karen, are super knowledgeable and offer great tips just for Sobaka on top of all the lesson topics. We look forward to more classes and lodging opportunities.
Sobaka goes to the facility with a wiggle butt and comes back the same way. Lodging plus includes enrichment time. His manners (such as they are for a puppy) are not only in place, but better! He will be one year old this month. Great peace of mind having him in the care of White Mountain College for pets when he can not travel with us.
Communication is excellent. I frequently get replies in the middle of the night, or definitely within 24 hrs. I appreciate their flexibility to my changing travel needs.
One suggestion, as an over thinker and worrier, I would love to see/hear updates at least every other day for lodging plus.

February 25, 2022My fiancé and I are so thankful that we found White Mountain College for Pets! As most everyone we know knows, Beau is the most hyper pup I have ever... read more had, and he has really bad separation anxiety. We knew when we started our internship for our counseling program that he could not stay home alone. White Mountain College for Pets not only gave us peace of mind, but also Beau. I have seen Beau go from timid and hiding behind our legs, to happy go lucky when heading into his day camp. He's been working on so much and I have noticed he a little better at sharing toys with his dog neighbor Ellie, he is calmer throughout the day, and he is more attentive. Now, don't get me wrong, Beau has always been attentive, but I think from what he has been working on in day camp, he is just listening a little bit better at home because he is an overall calmer little guy. Beau also loves that he gets to hang with his people friends all day and that he always gets sent home with a treat or two. He has practiced socialization with other pups (a big help!), scent training, and one day he even got a little doggy massage! Long story short, if you're looking for a place for you dog to go during the day, pick here - and enroll them in day camp, it has been so great for Beau Beau! 🙂

May 2, 2021Really great caring staff and top notch facility- our positive experience started with a few training classes when our dog was a puppy, all excellent and helpful for our pup's... read more obedience. For the past five years he's been going to day camp a few times a week and he boards here for vacations when we're not able to take him. I'm guessing much of the time he has a better time at day camp or boarding and playing with other dogs and getting activities, than being home... Thanks to everyone at White Mountain College for Pets for taking care of our dog so well!

I couldn’t be happier with every service we’ve used. The whole group at White Mountain College for Pets is awesome.
