BOARD AND TRAIN PROGRAM
About the program:
With this training program, your dog will stay with me from 2-4 weeks for basic obedience and behavior training. Your dog will also learn skills such as focus, better listening, working through distractions, loose-leash walking, and socialization. The goal is for your dog to have better house manners, greater confidence, more calmness, and the socialization skills to go anywhere with you without causing problems.
By the end of this program, your dog will walk nicely on a leash and learn the SIT, DOWN, STAY, and COME commands. They will even listen to you when other people, dogs, and distractions are nearby. Teaching good manners while eliminating jumping and play-biting.
Day Training is offered to a limited number of dogs that meet the criteria for a board-and-train. After the program, I will conduct two one-hour private sessions with you to review the new skills your dog has learned and how to continue the program on your own.
