Helping dogs thrive with expert training, structured boarding, and enrichment-based care for Cottonwood Heights clients, all supported from our Salt Lake City location.
Cottonwood Heights sits at the mouth of both canyons, which means its dogs are trail dogs. Polite leash manners on the Big Cottonwood paths and calm greetings at Ferguson Canyon both start with the basics we practice daily. We’re at 300 West and 3300 South.
Train Walk Poop provides professional dog training for Cottonwood Heights dog owners focused on improving obedience, behavior, and confidence in everyday situations. Every dog has unique learning needs, which is why our training programs are tailored to match your dog’s personality, energy level, and behavior goals.
Our board and train programs provide a structured and immersive learning experience at our main facility. Dogs stay with us and receive daily one-on-one training, supervised socialization, and enrichment activities. Training focuses on recall, leash manners, impulse control, calm behavior, and improving responsiveness in different environments.
Our day training program is a practical option for Cottonwood Heights families who want professional support without overnight boarding. Dogs spend the day participating in obedience training, enrichment, and structured social interaction before returning home in the evening.
Our group dog training classes help your dog learn to behave appropriately in social settings with other dogs and people. These structured sessions focus on obedience and real-world behavior. They are a great way to reinforce skills in a new environment while building confidence and calm behavior.

Our overnight boarding program includes round-the-clock supervision from trained staff. Dogs receive private rest areas, meals, scheduled potty breaks, and supervised activity based on their comfort level and personality. Medication support is also available if needed.
Our boarding and training combo packages allow dogs to continue learning while staying with us. Daily training sessions reinforce obedience, improve focus, and support positive behavior throughout the boarding experience.
Trainer-supervised playgroups encourage safe and balanced socialization. Dogs are grouped based on energy level and play style to create comfortable and positive interactions.
Playfuls are designed for dogs who love to run, chase, and wrestle. These active groups offer a healthy outlet for high-energy dogs and provide plenty of trainer supervision to maintain safe behavior.
These playgroups are ideal for dogs who enjoy play but are more selective or sensitive to their surroundings. Polite Playfuls allows dogs to interact at a slower pace with respectful companions.

Here is the Cottonwood Heights problem: you live at the mouth of two of the best canyons in America, and your dog is not allowed in either one. Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood are watershed canyons, so dogs are banned. You picked the one spot in the valley where the mountains are closest and the dog rules are strictest.
So what does a Cottonwood Heights dog do? Neighborhood walks, city parks, and trips to dog friendly trails elsewhere in the valley. All three get better with training. A dog with calm leash manners and a solid recall turns limited options into plenty.
We are about 18 minutes away. Fort Union Boulevard to I-215, north to I-15, off at 3300 South.
Where CAN I take my dog around here?
Neighborhood parks, the valley’s off-leash dog parks, and dog friendly trails like Millcreek Canyon on odd days. We help every family build a short list that fits their dog’s skills.
We ski a lot in winter. What do we do with the dog?
That is what our boarding and board and train school are for. Your dog stays busy and keeps learning while you are on the mountain.
