Consistency when they're back home is very important. Each Private one-on-one session is approximately 2 hours long. All Board and Training Program Lengths include a Follow up lesson that can be used at any time following the program. We remain support for lifetime.

Board and Training spots fill fast!

Board and Training

In order to give our canine clients the best care and training possible, we limit the number of Board and Train dogs. As a result our popular 2-4 week Board and Training programs fill up quickly and we can be fully booked 2-4 months out.
It is strongly encouraged to book reservations for Board and Training at least 3 months ahead of time in order to avoid complications. A 50% deposit is required to hold your reservation

Dogs will understand concept of all commands listed on Word List. Also, they will perform all these commands on leash (for all Board and Training program lengths) and off leash (for our extended boarders).
All programs include strategies for problem behaviors such as jumping, barking and chewing.
2-3 visits for you and your family to learn the concepts and training that your dog has learned here during the program. To finish the program, we require one follow up visit where the owner brings the dog back in to discuss training issues.
All dogs will work with multiple trainers while here to continue to understand the concept of generalizing and that they listen to anybody, not just their Primary Care trainer.
Outings to either the store or park while here. Helping to generalize that not only does the training apply here on our property, but everywhere the dogs go. (only 3-4 week Board and Training students)
