Board & Train

Want your good dog to be a great dog?  Want the training to be done for you?  This option allows your dog to attend 'Doggie Boot Camp', learn all the basic obedience skills and manners, and then show you what he's learned!  At the end of Boot Camp, you and your family will have private training to assure that your dog will obey you and take their new skills home. 

There are 2 Board & Train programs:

'Good Dog!' Obedience Training:  During this program, your dog will learn the basic obedience commands (Sit, Stay, Come, Down, Heel and Manners!) Your dog will be incorporated into the DayCare program and group classes during his stay.  This provides socialization skills and training in real life situations.  Private lessons with your dog's family is included after your dog's stay.  Free follow up support for life.  Pricing dependent upon goals and temperament evaluation.  I want to make sure your dog's training will meet your goals.

'Bad Dog' Boot Camp:  This is for the dog that is aggressive towards others, dangerous to other animals, has total lack of respect for humans, and shows dominance or has other major issues.  This program will help your dog understand leadership and obedience.  At the end of the training, the entire family must attend a private lesson to review the training protocols.  4 week minimum.  A longer stay may be recommended as we get to know your dog during the 1st week.
