    Program Details, Emergency Info, and Release of Liability
  • Your Dog's Custom Training Program

  • General

    Each Board & Train porgram is custom designed for each dog’s individual needs and each family’s individual goals. Puppies and young dogs tend to benefit most from exercises to improve focus, impulse control, and settling, whereas more mature dogs may be ready for a wider variety of obedience tasks.

    During the Board & Train program, the dog trains daily in short, focused obedience exercises, and in cases where Manners & Etiquette topics are desired (potty training, jumping up, counter surfing, mouthing, etc.), the training is constant and opportunistic throughout the day. The dog lives in a household setting during the training and so “real life” scenarios are presented to the dog regularly.

    Between training, the dog has crate time and play/socialization time with the other dogs in the household, when deemed appropriate by the trainer.

    Some training sessions may occur off property in nearby public areas, when deemed appropriate by the trainer.

  • What to Bring

  • Please send with your dog:

    • Food - please bring more than you think your dog will need
    • Leash
    • Collar
    • Favorite/special chews (edible or non-edible) for crate time
    • If your dog has not boarded here previously, you might bring their crate bedding for a familar scent

    Please do not bring, because I have:

    • Crates, with padded mats for each
    • Toys
    • Food & water bowls, including a slow feeder
    • Please don't bring stuffed toys, for the toys' own safety
  • Results

  • Regular contact will be made with the owners during the training program, in the form of written updates, photos and videos, to show the progress the dog is making during the program, as well as to assist in the owner's learning during and after the program.

    Additionally, two follow up handler training sessions are included in the program to assist in transferring the dog's learned behaviors for use by the owners.

    However, as a dog is a dynamic, intelligent animal, and as there is no sure way to guarantee the cooperation nor performance of either the dog nor the owners after training, guarantees regarding the outcome of the training program cannot be made.

  • Cancellation Policy
