The Common Dog – Boston's Premiere Doggie Daycare and Salon

The Common Dog training programs are designed and monitored by the owner, Chris Murphy. Chris has trained dogs and owners for the past 23 years, and is one of the most in demand trainers in the Boston area. His no nonsense, “relationship building” approach has bought him referrals from other dog professionals as well as clients. Chris has been featured on many local television and print publications as well as nationally in People Magazine and on The Animal planet. Chris has assembled an extraordinary staff of trainers and assistants all with the same goals, to help dogs and owners establish a rapport, trust, respect and a relationship based on those principles.

Class Formats

• Day training classes

Incorporate exercise, socialization, and learning all in one.  This is our most in demand training program, and involves the owner leaving their dog with us for the day to learn the foundations of manners and obedience.  The program includes a follow-up session with the owner .

• Board and train programs

This is the gold standard of training programs. An intense three week boot camp, with an emphasis on the off leash trained dog.  The program addresses all obedience, manners and behavior problems, and includes intensive owner follow up training.

• Private Sessions

One on one sessions conducted at our location or in your home.

Requirements:

• Training consultation for new clients
• Fully vaccinated

Behavior and Training Consultations
One on one time with the trainers to discuss individual goals, problems and training needs. A training consultation is required for new students in Adolescent, Adult Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Obedience classes.
