About Our Head Trainer:

Roxanne Sullivan

Roxanne is a graduate of the Petropolis Academy of dog training and is a certified APDT-KA dog trainer. She is experienced in advanced methods of obedience training, scent detection, trick training and service dog training. She has continued her education by attending seminars and conferences and learning from world renowned experts in the field of dog behavior and training. Roxanne has helped Petropolis broaden its training department to include various methods and programs.

Working with dogs and their owners has been a life long passion for Roxanne and you would see that as soon as you meet one of her dogs. Oliver the Pomeranian is known for his many tricks including getting Roxanne a tissue when she sneezes. Gunny the border collie is also a testament to her passion for training dogs. He is trained in scent detection, obedience and will also do many tricks such as carrying her purse or getting her a drink from the fridge. Stella the newest addition, is a Cane Corso (Italian mastiff) who is still focusing on her obedience and learning a few tricks along the way. If you are thinking of owning a dog or you do own a dog the two of you would have plenty to talk about. Please call Roxanne any time to talk about anything from puppy selection to behavior modification training.

Individual Evaluations

We take pride in our training program because we treat dogs and owners as individuals. We take the time to determine the best way to teach your dog. Deciphering how your dog will learn best is key. What makes us unique is our knowledge and ability to apply many different methods of training. Our methods range from positive lure based training, to all types of training collars. We are not limited to one training method. Our goal is always to teach the dog to behave, so the owner will enjoy having him/her as a part of their life. The more the owners enjoy the dog, the more the dog enjoys his life. This all begins with a no cost consultation, which allows us to meet with you and your dog to discuss your goals.

Boarding Training & Day Care Training

Although all of our programs are custom designed, there are two different styles of in-kennel training. We can teach Formal Obedience or our Perfect Pet Program, which concentrates more on off leash in home pet manners. Formal Obedience is learning basic competitive exercises for people who would like to compete in obedience trials or that just enjoy the crisp, formal look. Perfect Pet Program is just that; a program designed to turn your dog into the perfect pet, one who listens and has manners.

Our programs are designed with success in mind. It is our theory that a huge part of dog training is training the owners. Support and communication with and from the owners is paramount to the success of the program. Our programs include lessons for the owners, and opportunities to participate in group programs to ensure their ability and skill. We also offer consultation services for the life of the dog.

Whether you are in need of puppy selection advice, formal obedience, pet training, trick training, socialization or behavior modification; Call to set up an appointment for your consultation and let us help you.
