The board and train program is typically a 3 week program where your dog is introduced to a 24/7 professional home environment. This is the best way to lay a solid foundation of obedience and structure that will extend a happier and healthier life for you and your dog. Your dog will learn the following commands:

​

• “Heel” (walk politely next to/ slightly behind you.)

• “Place” (Lay calmly and quietly)

• “Come” (to you Short/Long distance)

• “Down/Stay (lay down until asked to move)

• “Sit/Stay” (at doorways before existing and stopping at your side on walks)

 

At this time we will also address minor behavioral issues such as jumping, pulling on leash, barking, nipping, mouthing etc.

 

This program is designed to benefit those who have limited time to attend private sessions and put in the necessary repetitions to lay a solid foundation. This program gives you and your dog a new start to build clearer communication.

 

As your trainer, I am able to provide a working structure with your dog daily.  Ultimately we are creating a more balanced dog, one who can make better decisions at home and more importantly look to you for guidance.

 

These commands we teach are non-negotiable for your dog.  Your dog is expected to comply. The relationship between you and your dog should be a partnership which creates more reliability and freedom for you and your dog.
