Safari Dog Training

Safari Dog Training Certified Dog Trainer 🐾 Fear Free Certified Professional 🦮 Servicing West Palm Beach & Broward

The concept of Safari Dog Training came to life when Certified Dog Trainer, Ashton, dreamed of an enrichment-focused, force-free, fear-free environment for our furry friends. Early in his career, he worked alongside many other trainers and had observed various styles of training. His happy, confident puppy, Blue, had an adverse outcome after being subject to training associated with corrective-act

ion methods. After Blue began to show aggression with dogs and people, Ashton knew he had to take action. With extensive research on positive-reinforcement training, Ashton focused his efforts using tasty treats and clickers to instill confidence in his dogs and his growing client base. He has realized much success with his efforts and has many heartwarming stories we will share. Our mission is to educate our animal loving community on the science-based methods of positive reinforcement by advocating for your pets. We use Force Free, Fear Free to alleviate anxiety and stress in your pets for boarding, grooming, and training. Our staff is trained, certified, and actively continue their education to create the best environment and care for your pet! Members of our daily team are certified in First Aid & CPR, dog body language, and safe group play. Our passion is to dedicate our lives to saving animals from kill shelters, giving rescue animals the enrichment and love they deserve. We have partnered with Blessed Paws Animal Rescue & A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue, by giving foster dogs their second chance and the training they need to be successful as they find their fur-ever homes! The core team at Safari wants to give our clients, whom we consider family, peace of mind that we love their animals as our own. We take time introducing new members of the Safari to ensure your dog is happy and comfortable with their new friends. Our Safari Guides take the time to individually know each dog and we imply positive reinforcement training, with adding that extra enrichment to your pup's everyday life here at our Safari Adventure!

Ella wanted to show everyone her new best friends! Fitz & Beau are A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue alumnis, hanging out at Safari Dog for day training and fun!

Ella is still available for adoption. She is 4yrs old, potty trained, crate trained, obedience trained, walks well on leash, loves when visitors come over, loves to play fetch… what more can you ask for?

Ella is currently living with 3 dogs, smallest being 10lbs, biggest 60lbs. She really enjoys younger dogs that love to play! She needs slow introduction to new dogs or would love to be the center of your world!

Ella comes with two free training sessions to ensure a smooth transition to her adoptive home as well as she is always welcome back here for dog sitting when you want to go on vacation!

Please consider sharing, fostering, or adopting Ella. She is eligible for the Foster to Adopt program with the rescue.

We are in Lake Worth Beach, FL 📍

How can you tell if it is an appeasement signal?
Is there suddenly something new around them or in their environment?
What is happening around them right now?
They can be such innocuous actions to us but can be a BIG sign that dogs can give.

Another clue❓

They are often shown in combination.
For example a dog may blink slowly and yawn.
They may scratch and turn away.
The lowering of the head can cause a posture change and curving of the body.

Individually they can be just everyday, ordinary behaviours....context is everything here.
Just because they show these doesn't necessarily mean something needs addressed, it just means we need to look a bit deeper at what that licking, nibbling or yawning may be trying to communicate.

(This isn't available yet but should be in the shop in the next week or so.)

Ella was returned to rescue due to her family having a baby. She’s been in rescue for 3 months with no interest!

🐾 Ella is excellent at playing fetch! She is always ready to play and bring the ball back to you! She has great energy!
🐾 She self entertains by throwing toys in the air, hiding her toys in blankets, or chewing on her bones.
🐾 Ella walks well on leash, she loves getting to meet new people and reinforcing her obedience skills.
🐾 She is completely potty & crate trained, but can be trusted free roaming alone as she isn’t destructive in the house.
🐾 Loves any enrichment puzzles or frozen food toys to give her mental stimulation!
🐾 She currently lives with 3 other dogs but Ella would prefer to be the only dog if possible. We are willing to work with anyone who is willing to give her a chance. She needs slow introductions to new dogs.

You don't need to find a pet sitter for Ella as she is always welcome back to Safari when you're on a trip!

**Ella comes with two complimentary training sessions from Safari Dog Training to her potential adopter to ensure a smooth transition. **

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Ella, please reach out to A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue and fill out an application!

Ella is being fostered in Lake Worth, FL
