Mellow Mutts Dog Training

Mellow Mutts Dog Training is a training-focused facility on East Washington Street that offers dog boarding in Indianapolis alongside obedience classes and behavior work. It takes small, medium, large, and giant dogs. Boarding is listed at $70 per day per dog.

Services and training

• Overnight dog boarding
• Behavior modification for aggression, reactivity, and resource guarding
• AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluations
• Group obedience, trick, e-collar, and therapy classes
• Pack walks for reactive and formerly reactive dogs

What sets it apart

The boarding side sits inside a training practice, so the people handling overnight guests are the same ones running behavior modification for aggression, reactivity, and resource guarding. Dogs with a difficult history are the everyday work here, not an exception.

Pack walks give reactive and formerly reactive dogs a structured group setting to practice around other dogs and people. Training sessions run either at Mellow Mutts or at Ellenberger Park, which gives handlers a public setting once a dog is ready for one.

Who it suits

The size range is wide, covering small dogs through giant breeds, and the business says it welcomes all breeds, ages, and histories. That makes it worth a call for owners who have been turned away elsewhere over a bite record or leash reactivity.
