Our Training Programs
Board and Train
Your dog stays in our private home with our pack on 10 acres of fenced property. We provide loving care and 1:1 consistent training using a variety of methods, customized to you and your dog’s needs. We provide written training plans and homework for you. An initial evaluation with you and your dog will be arranged before starting a Board and Train Program.
What is Board and Train?
Your dog lives in our private home, for a certain period of time for specialized training, to learn specific behavioral skills or to fix behavioral issues. We provide thoughtful, loving and attentive environmental management around the clock to reinforce wanted behaviors, socialization, enrichment and exercise. The length of the program depends on the dog’s age, temperament, behavior issues or skills you desire your dog to learn. The most important part of the training is the HUMAN training and follow up to reinforce the new behaviors. We are here for you during and after the program. We want to see you succeed in having the best life with your furry friend!
