Comprehensive Training Courses for Every Stage of Your Dog's Life
Board & Train
A Board & Train is a very intensive training with your dog. He or she will live in the home with a professional trainer/behaviorist 24/7 for two weeks during their stay. This allows for one-to-one training time, group play time, and adventures to the dog park, wildlife areas, and dog friendly stores.
Your dog will undergo a comprehensive evaluation of all behaviors you’ve been struggling with such as nipping, biting, reactivity, aggression, leash pulling, potty training, fear, anxiety and much more. All of our Board & Train packages include sit, stay, come (recall), place, indoor manners (meeting guests appropriately, doorbell reaction, food manners, door and threshold manners, roughhousing, rambunctious behavior, stealing, property destruction, etc.), leash walking, leash pulling, lunging, and meeting outdoor humans and animals with appropriate manners. Board & Train pricing is custom to each dog and its issues. Up-to-date vaccinations required are DHLPP (may be DH2PP or DHPP), Bordatella and Rabies (6 months and older). Please call today for pricing and availability.
