Training
Board and Train
Board and Train is a long-form training process where your puppy comes to live with us and undergoes an immersive training program. This style of training program allows for the most consistency, generally yielding the best long-term results. It is still imperative that training protocols are upheld after the program has ended for success. This is helped by the follow up lessons included in the training package.
Board and Train is ideal for families who work outside the house, have specific needs for a puppy, or just need a hand in getting started on proper training techniques for their new pet.
Board and Train clients live in our home and around other animals, kids, etc. The exposure to normal daily life provides a more realistic, and therefore more sustained training. A lot of learning is done through environmental exposure, accompanied by daily intentional lessons.
Our focus with Board and Train is to get owners off on the right foot with their new puppy. Because we focus exclusively on puppy training, we do not accept clients with severe behaviorial issues or dogs over six months of age.
*Any required vetting for puppies starting a Board and Train at 8 weeks will be at the full expense of the owner and done through the veterinarian of my choosing.
