About Daack Pack

Based on what the business publishes about itself

Daack Pack is led by Allison Daack, an applied animal behaviorist who has been training animals professionally since 2008. According to her site, she holds a CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, and a certificate in applied animal behavior from the University of Washington, with a background that includes exotic wildlife handling before specializing in dog aggression and behavior modification. Lead trainer Marie brings over 15 years of experience in group and private instruction, with certifications including CPDT-KA and Family Paws for dog-and-child safety work.

The Sacramento facility operates as a dedicated Animal Behavior Center with climate-controlled boarding kennels, an indoor classroom for rotating group classes, and a retail area. Their site describes the boarding as "behavior-informed," designed around fear-free handling and customized enrichment for anxious or special-needs dogs. They also rent out a private enrichment space for dogs who need low-stress exploration time.

What stands out in their approach is a structured onboarding process, free screening call, in-depth consultation, then service selection, before training begins. They describe their methods as exclusively force-free and positive reinforcement-based. For owners dealing with complex cases, they offer intensive day training up to four times weekly, while their group program runs as a monthly membership with rotating classes and real-world excursions rather than fixed courses. Specialties listed include reactivity, fear and anxiety, service dog training, and cooperative care for veterinary handling.

What dog training programs does Daack Pack offer?

Private lessons, day training, virtual coaching, and a monthly group membership cover everything from basic obedience to reactivity and aggression cases. Daack Pack requires an initial consultation before most intensive programs, screening dogs to match them with the right service. The Summit Membership at $159 per month offers ongoing group work for socialization and skill maintenance.
