Look What's New

Training Cesar’s Way and the Country Inn Pet Resort are excited to announce New Classes, New Schedules, New Formats, and Training Cesar’s Way Head Trainer Todd Langston.

Beginning in July, Todd Langston will take over the Country Inn Pet Resort training program. Todd is the current Head Trainer for Cesar’s Fundamentals of Dog Behavior and Training programs, as well as one of the curriculum architects for The Training Cesar’s Way Boot Camp Series. Cesar will guide Todd to ensure that the curriculum taught in each new program is well-balanced and classroom specific.

In two, 3-hour classes taught over one weekend, Todd will introduce you to Cesar’s dog psychology and the importance of maintaining calm confidence while training. Each training event will start with Cesar’s dog philosophy and, from there, introduce that weekend’s topic-based training.

The programs taught by Todd Langston do not include a personal appearance by Cesar Millan. For more information on Training with Cesar, please click Cesar Milan Programs.

These programs are not rehabilitation programs. They are for dog owners that want to learn how to spend quality time with their pets. The cost for each program is for one human and one dog. Dog approval is required before attending.

Please read the dog requirements, Fees, and Terms and Condition for additional valuable information about this program.

No, we welcome all students over the age of 18, regardless of their level of experience with dogs.

ARE THERE ANY PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FUNDAMENTALS I?

Fundamentals I involves many physical activities, including Pack Walks and hands-on activities with dogs. Because many are outdoors, you should be comfortable in warm, bright sun for up to 30 minutes.

ENGLISH IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE. DO YOU OFFER TRANSLATION SERVICES?

Fundamentals I is taught entirely in English. We are unable to provide translation services.

CAN I BRING MORE THAN ONE DOG? DO YOU HAVE SPECIAL PRICING IF I BRING MORE THAN ONE DOG?

Due to space limitations, we can only accommodate one dog per person, up to a maximum of 20 dogs per session.

IF I BRING A DOG, WHAT VACCINATION RECORDS ARE REQUIRED? HOW DO I GET THEM TO YOU?

We must have proof of current vaccination records for rabies, Bordetella and DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). For our Florida facility, we also need H3N8 inoculation plus a fecal test. Proof of vaccination must be received by us before you attend the course. Your dog must be spayed or neutered to attend Fundamentals I. No exceptions, please. We will provide you with instructions for sending proof of vaccination after you have registered.

IF I BRING A DOG, DO I HAVE TO BRING A CRATE?

WILL PARTICIPATING IN FUNDAMENTALS I RESOLVE MY DOG'S MISBEHAVIOR OR ISSUES?

Fundamentals I is not a dog rehabilitation program, but a human-centered educational program. It is not designed to resolve a dog’s issues during the program (although many dogs are helped). Rather, the purpose is to teach you the Pack Leader skills so that you can be the leader your dog seeks and needs.

IF I DON’T BRING A DOG, WILL I GET HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS?

Although you may have opportunities for hands-on experience with dogs, we cannot guarantee it. The majority of our students do not bring dogs yet report the same satisfaction and benefit from the program as those who do.

WHEN WILL I KNOW THAT I’M ACCEPTED FOR FUNDAMENTALS I?

For those not bringing a dog, we routinely approve participants within 24 – 48 hours of registration. Your credit card is not charged for the deposit until you are approved. If you wish to bring a dog, your registration will be pending while we review your dog’s suitability for the program. This may take up to one week. We will not charge your credit card for the deposit until your dog is approved. If your dog is not approved for attendance, we may offer you a non-dog spot in the course (if available).

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COURSE PRICE?

The price includes program tuition, all program materials, four hot lunches and gala graduation banquet. Accommodations, transportation and other meals are not included.

DO YOU ARRANGE HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS?

We typically work with a local hotel that offers special rates for Fundamentals I participants – but you are responsible for making your own arrangements for lodging. We will provide you with hotel information when your registration for the course is approved. You are not required to stay at the recommended hotel.

DO YOU OFFER A SHUTTLE OR OTHER TRANSPORTATION?

No, we do not. We suggest that you rent a car since you are responsible for your own transportation to and from the airport as well as between the hotel and the DPC. Many participants organize carpools among themselves for traveling to and from the DPC each day. We encourage these carpools, but do not organize them.

DO YOU OFFER SPECIAL PRICING FOR COUPLES OR FAMILIES?

While we welcome participation by couples or families, we do not offer family or group discounts. The program fee covers only one human (or human with dog).

DO YOU OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS OR REDUCED RATES?

We may occasionally offer discounts on course fees for various purposes. For example, we offer a 10% discount to those who register at least 90 days in advance. Should we offer discounts, only one discount may be applied to an individual course. The Cesar Millan PACK Project occasionally makes scholarship grants to qualified individuals. Please visit its site for more information

CAN I GET A DISCOUNT BY VOLUNTEERING OR WORKING AT THE DOG PSYCHOLOGY CENTER?

DO YOU OFFER A PAYMENT PLAN?

We offer a convenient payment schedule. If you register more than 90 days before the course, you will pay $500 at confirmation of registration, $2000 at 90 days before the course start date, with the remaining balance due at 45 days before the course start date. If you register between 90 and 60 days before the course start date, you will pay $2500 at confirmation of registration with the balance due 45 days before course start date. And if you register 60 days or less before the course start date, you will pay the entire course fee at confirmation of registration.

WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?

Refunds (minus a processing fee) are available up to 30 days before the course begins. If you must cancel within 30 days of the course, we will work with you and schedule you for another session.

MAY I BRING MY SPOUSE, PARTNER OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER TO THE GRADUATION DINNER?

Yes, you may bring one guest to the graduation dinner for a nominal cost. Please refer to the registration form for details. We will politely decline requests for more than one guest.
