We’re Not Fancy, We’re Family!
Dog Squad Training is a unique concept at a unique place. Situated on five acres bordering beautiful wetlands and just 10 minutes north of the Twin Cities, we are a full-service Boarding, Training, Daycare and Grooming facility.
More than that, Blaine Kennels is a place where dogs are engaged, exercised, mentally stimulated, and allowed to play under the supervision and guidance of a highly-trained team of canine experts. You can rest easy knowing your pet is being left with an amazing team of caring pet-care professionals.
2018 News
Blaine Kennels and Dog Squad Training are happy to announce that Todd Langston has joined our team as Director of Training. Todd is a canine-behavior expert and dog trainer with over 10 years of experience teaching humans how to help their dogs become happy, balanced and well behaved. Todd uses pack rules and leadership fundamentals to teach owners how to bring balance and happiness to any dog, of any age, with any issue.
Todd has worked and trained with some of the best minds in the business including: Linn Boyke, Colleen Steckloff, and since 2014 he has worked alongside Cesar Millan of National Geographic’s The Dog Whisperer and Cesar 911. Todd was hand-picked by Cesar as one of only two head trainers of Training Cesar’s Way. Todd has helped thousands of dogs and their owners and performed over 3,000 in-home consultations. He is regularly asked to help at different shelters, recues, pet conventions, and vet’s offices and he serves as a behavior consultant for a variety of rescue shelters.
Under the guidance of Todd Langston, our new Director of Training, the entire property is undergoing a complete renovation. These updates, including fresh epoxy throughout the facility, all new kennel suites, and almost two acres of newly-constructed fenced yards, were conceived to create a low-stress environment where all the dogs can be worked with throughout the day in small, supervised groups.
Thank you,
