For over 30 years now, Mancuso’s Country Lane Pet Hotel & Training Center has been known for exclusive,
home-style dog boarding in a low-stress, interactive atmosphere you won’t find

canine community as one of the most successful training facilities in the
Greater Pittsburgh area.
Why should I train my dog?
Nowadays, training is the MOST
important step you will take in raising your dog. More and more,
our pet friendly culture demands that dog owners be informed and responsible
about their dog’s behavior, especially in light of so much media attention to
bad dog behavior. For this reason alone, you should consider training to be an
integral part of raising your dog, no matter the breed.
But also, you should consider basic training simply to help
your dog become a more pleasant companion to live with. A well-trained dog
enjoys more freedom and more time to spend with family, resulting in a happier
and healthier pet.
In it’s most beneficial form, training could one day save
you or your dog’s life. How, you may ask? Consider that well-trained dogs will
understand instructions
at all times, such as stopping on command before crossing a busy
road. And in emergency situations involving family, a well-trained dog will
recognize the unusual level of stress and distraction, and immediately look for
directions from you or family as to what to do or how to help.
Fundamentally, training strengthens the bond between you
and your dog by building communication, understanding, and mutual respect. And
ultimately,
this bond serves as the basis for a more meaningful relationship which will
last
a lifetime between your dog, you, and your family.
