BOARD & TRAIN

An evaluation is required before beginning a Boarding & Training program*

We do not use adverse tools such as prong and e-collars in our training.

Our Board & Train program is 24/7 hands-on training with our trainers—both dogs and humans—for your dog. The Boarding & Training program allows us to fully immerse unruly dogs into a world of structure, consistency, and purpose. Every Board & Train program is custom designed for each individual dog and owner’s goals, but generally dogs will learn to walk on and off leash, behave indoors/outdoors, be desensitized to nail trims, respect boundaries, recall on demand with distractions, and acquire basic obedience through both vocal and hand signals in a minimum of 1 week.

Dogs are our life.

When an untrained owner and misunderstood dog attempt to work together, it tends to lead to confusion and frustration for both parties that slows down or completely halts training routines. Our Board and Train program is efficient, without the use of adverse tools, because we have the luxury of making each moment of every day a positive training experience. Not only do dogs have our human guidance to follow, but canine teachers to learn from as well. Dogs are observational learners meaning they learn by example and will mimic behaviors in order to gain rewards. Our Playcare Pack Members and Personal Pack help us expedite training by demonstrating firsthand the positive behaviors we instill. When every dog in our pack is respecting boundaries, a dog that is used to bolting through doorways will naturally follow the behavior of the group and respect thresholds, organically altering unwanted learned behaviors.

 
 

PUPPY PROGRAM

(for puppies less than 5 months)

Get your puppy started on the right path during their most crucial period of development. This program focuses on:

  • potty training

  • positive leash training and structure

  • basic obedience (indoors)

  • basic rules, boundaries, and limitations (ex: no nipping, no jumping)

  • positive kennel training

  • socialization with a balanced pack that follow human leaders

Requires a minimum stay of one week (7 nights)

$60.00 per night**

ADOLESCENT PROGRAM

(dogs between 5 and 10 months)

By 5 months old, a puppy’s brain is as matured as a physically adult dog’s. Any problematic behaviors are fully learned and require consistent counter conditioning in combination with a fulfilling lifestyle to rehabilitate. Dogs 6 months and older must be neutered/spayed. This program includes:

  • mastering the walk

  • kennel training

  • basic obedience (indoors & outdoors, on leash)

  • rehabilitation of dominance, fear, stress, and/or anxiety

  • counter conditioning of negative behaviors

  • socialization within a balanced pack

Requires a minimum stay of one week (7 nights)

$80.00 per night**

ADULT PROGRAM

(for dogs 11 months and older):

The adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” if only trust if the human is unwilling to learn “new tricks”. At this age, negative behaviors are reinforced and successful counter conditioning requires consistent discipline (from both human and dog) and patience. Dogs 6 months and older must be neutered/spayed. This canine boot camp will establish and reinforce:

  • mastering the walk

  • kennel training

  • basic obedience (indoors & outdoors, on & off leash)

  • rehabilitation of dominance, fear, stress, and/or anxiety

  • counter conditioning of negative behaviors

  • socialization within a balanced pack

Requires a minimum stay of one week (7 nights)

$90.00 per night**

**This is a base price, board & train per night cost is dependent on variables such as age, aggression, fear, type of rehabilitation required, etc.

Videos of training sessions, behavior conditioning, socialization, and more will be recorded while dogs are active in a Board & Train program.

*A Board & Train Program must begin within two weeks after the evaluation.
