BOARD AND TRAIN:

WHAT IS IT?

 

Training your dog takes a lot of time and repetition-- we’re here to put in the work to get you there! This program allows us to do the heavy lifting for you, then bring you back into the picture as your dog’s behaviors become more rehearsed and reliable. Your dog stays with our staff Tuesday-Saturday for the agreed upon number of weeks (usually 3-5). 

 

While with our staff, your dog will receive at least 3 training sessions daily, tailored to work towards your training goals. Dogs will return home with their owners on Saturdays after a short in person lesson, returning on Tuesday for the next week. Weekends at home will allow us to identify any shortcomings in our training plans and tailor what we’re doing along the way!​

​

Board & Train programs may be a good choice for owners who need help with behavioral issues, or if your busy life is just making it hard to find time to give your new dog the headstart you’d like it to have.​

​

We offer a 3-4 week program and a 5+ week program depending on your needs and the intensity of your dog's behavioral issues. ​

​

Benefits of Board & Train:

  • This service represents the best product we can offer.

  • Most reliable results.

  • Less stress on the owner.

  • Less overall time commitment. 

  • The dog goes home on the weekends, allowing the owner and trainer to communicate about what's working and what's not along the way. 

  • For more significant issues, this is a safer approach to solving behavior than private lessons.
