We couldn't do without the awesome local businesses who partner with Love of Labs to provide foster care for some of our dogs. LOLIN highly recommends the services of all of these businesses.

Dog Day Care

 Camp Bow Wow

An "open play" atmosphere provides three separate indoor/outdoor play areas. Your dog will have plenty of room to romp, snooze, or just hang-out with the other pups. Camp Bow Wow offers a spot to one of our foster dogs to come, stay, and play!

The Wigglebutt Dog House

Dog daycare in a cage-free environment provides dogs with a social setting that helps teach your dog how to properly interact in a group setting.

Training

Both Lucky Dog Retreat and Dog Dayz offer training. We also recommend you contact your veterinarian for advice on options for training. LOLIN recommends using professional trainers for adult dogs and using pet-store based training classes only for puppy socialization.

Humane Society of Indianapolis' Canine Training School
http://indyhumane.org/training/index.php
The Canine Training School promotes dog-friendly methods so that all members of the family can take part in the training of the family dog. Behavior that is rewarded is repeated, and HSI does not use force or compulsion in training. The training program is based on the 3 M's - Management, Motivation and Modifying Behavior. The canine trainers discuss how to properly manage your dog's behavior to minimize inappropriate behavior, teach you how to motivate your dog to respond to humans, and begin to modify behavior through training.

Rick Doucette
Rick Doucette, former Director of Canine Training for the Humane Society, commonly evaluates LOLIN dogs and works with our foster homes for basic training needs and more advanced behavior training and advice.  He offers private in-home sessions for behavior and/ or training issues.  He also offers a reality based walk/training class to increase socialization and exposure to common situations.  Rick can be contacted at rick_doucette@yahoo.com
