Why Board and Train?
Board and Train programs trains the dog first, and then the owner. Teaching a dog first, and then bringing the owner in at the end, can take some of the stress and pressure off of both dog and owner. It’s much easier for the owner to learn their part, when the dog knows theirs.
The first thing we work on, in every program, is manners and a calm state of mind. We immediately eliminate jumping, mouthing, and pulling on a leash. Having a dog that has good manners has to come first. All of the dogs are trained around distractions. This allows us to better gauge how the dog will perform at home and in public.
Our Board and Train programs are designed to get the most out of the training process. Participating in a Board and Train program takes that pressure off of you and your dog. Dogs learn better, during more frequent, short sessions. instead of a single, one-hour session. During the Board and Train, your dog does multiple sessions throughout the day, every day. The training is done in our home .
At the end of the program, we do a one-hour private session, to train you, the owner. Even after these sessions, our relationship isn’t over. With the board and train packages you get follow up session, at no additional charge. We are always available for questions and troubleshooting problems. We also use social media platforms; Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, to be a source of continuing education. Helpful tips and videos are posted regularly.
Two Week (10 Day) Complete Board and Train: $2,500.00
This program is designed to take your dog’s obedience and behavior to the next level. We first teach your dog communication and obedience, with a leash. The leash is a very important part of the training process. After the dog is leash trained, we use a low-level electronic communication, to communicate with your dog. If trained properly, your dog views the E-Collar as an extension of the leash. It gives you more control of your dog, at a distance. It gives your dog more freedom, when outdoors. Your dog must be at least 6 months old and kennel trained. A consult is required for booking.
