The focus at A Closer Bond is training each individual dog based on its unique personality, aptitude, and attention span, which we discover during our time together. Dogs, just like us humans, learn best when positive reinforcement and ample motivation are used along side redirection to guide your dog through life's distractions. All of our educational programs strive to bring out the best in each unique dog, and teach you the skills necessary to bring out the best in your pet and ensure they are well-behaved at all times.

Questions & answers
From Google
What people have asked about this business.
What is an Off-Leash Play Evaluation?
Off-leash play evaluations are required before your pup comes to enrichment program or overnight care and they allow us to see if they're fit for off-leash play with a group of dogs. Our Petcare Technician Leaders take their time to allow your dog to explore their new surroundings and evaluate how your dog handles new people, places, sounds, and other dogs. After your dog completes their evaluation you will receive a report on our findings of your dog’s off-leash play style and what services are well suited for you and your dog. An off- leash evaluation is for a full day. They are set up by appointment.

Dogs must be over 8 weeks old and completed the first two series of vaccinations, including a fecal exam, but we have no upper age limit. We also do not have any breed restrictions.

We have been at 842 W Northwest Hwy since 1994. With the business expanding we needed a second location!
We opened our Training Center in March 2017 to give the dogs more space. We offer enrichment program, overnight care, and grooming at our Community Center, and we offer training and overnight care at our Training Center.

Please do! We have an open-door policy during regular business hours to view our facilities. However, we recommend that you give us a call beforehand so we can make sure we have adequate time for the tour and to answer any questions.
Community answer · A Closer Bond Dog Training & Learning Center - Wood Street · 2024-09-21
How far in advance do I have to make reservations?
We ask that enrichment program and overnight care reservations are made at least 24 hours in advance. Our grooming and training departments book up relatively quickly so please make those reservations as early as possible.
Community answer · A Closer Bond Dog Training & Learning Center - Wood Street · 2024-09-21
We do our best to accommodate every dog. Please give us a call to discuss your dog’s behavior. A training evaluation may be required prior to overnight care or attending enrichment program.
Community answer · A Closer Bond Dog Training & Learning Center - Wood Street · 2024-09-21
We require Rabies and Distemper vaccines. If you choose to get the Bordatella vaccine, please wait a minimum of ten days before visiting us as that vaccine is a live virus.

What happens if my dog needs vet care while with you?
We will contact you first immediately. If we are unable to reach you and it is an emergency, we will transport your dog to a vet. Which vet we take them to depends on their hours and availability.
Community answer · A Closer Bond Dog Training & Learning Center - Wood Street · 2024-09-21
We are happy to accommodate your refund when necessary. Please note we will refund your transaction minus the transaction fee. Please allow 10-14 business days for the refund to be credited back to your original payment.

Why isn’t my dog in pictures on Facebook or Instagram?
We do our best to post enrichment photos from the Community Center on Facebook and Instagram throughout the week. Pictures of new training dogs are posted on Mondays. If your dog stays at our Community Center and you do not see a picture of them, don’t worry! They’re getting the same amount of play time, we just missed them when taking pictures.

Our boy has been at A Closer Bond for nearly 14 years. Daycare, training, grooming and enrichment are all top-notch. I can really say there has been a great ‘BOND’ between the staff, our Walter & our family! Although his health keeps him from daycare, we still come for grooming & enrichment. They have all helped us in many was & they also adjusted with our crazy schedules! BTW: We come from Cary &/or Woodstock because we love it there!! Walter gives it 5 ‘ruffs’!🐾

The trainers and pet sitters are all so happy and treat our dog like their own. A very warm and friendly place. We are very comfortable leaving our dog with them. He is spoiled there!

This place is a scam!! Horrible! We clearly expressed that our dog had separation anxiety and that was the only issue we needed help with. They assured us that if we signed him up for the 3 week program they would be able to help. When we picked up our dog, he was clearly traumatized. Not only was his separation anxiety not helped, but he didn't even learn basic training. I called them in tears, they said the owner would call me. No one called. They don't answer my calls. We also found a wound under his arm. It was infected. He had to be put under to have the wound cleaned and treated. Now we are out thousands of dollars for "training" that only made him worse but also had to pay a $400 vet bill to have his wound treated. If you care about your dog, never take them here!! They will keep your money, even if they don't train your dog. It took years for us to undo the damage they caused our dog. And even though they admitted that he was clearly not kennel trained, nor helped with his doorbell or separation anxiety, they never apologized or offered a refund.

Our puppy is 10 months and she's a dauchsund so super stubborn. We did the 2 week residency program and she learned so much. We will be doing the more advanced classes soon. Highly recommend!!!!

My partner and I will only take our dog Dunkin to A Closer Bond. When we first adopted him, he was very timid and nervous, and would freeze if other people approached him. After five weeks of day training, he's confident, knows a bunch of practical commands (sit, down, stay, heel, come) and loves socializing with other dogs. All the staff know and love Dunkin and treat him as if he were their pet. Can't recommend this place enough!
