We offer a variety of training options, including Board and Train, Private Lessons and Workshops.
Board and Train allows us to work with your dog in short sessions throughout the day and for the duration of their stay. This allows enables your dog to work with a variety of knowledgeable, skilled Trainers. This will help build confidence, manners and the best dog ever! An assessment will be conducted prior to a Board and Train. This allows us to discuss pertinent information to help guide your dog to success. Afterwards you will be asked to book a private lesson with one of our Trainers to go over course content taught to your dog. And give you the tools to take home to work on with your dog.
Our Private Lessons are a huge benefit to both the owner and the dog! It creates a bond of repect and helps set patterns and routines working one on one with the owner and dog. Skillsets are taught to be able to focus on the task at hand and learn without distractions. Private lessons have an advantage to group classes, as we bring a focus on engagement and attention with the handler, which in turn creates a dog who enjoys and wants to work with their owner. The dogs learn to be successful via rewards such as treats or physical praise and want to make the right choice when learning. Once the dog has a clear understanding of what we are asking for, they tend be much better ready for situations that could pull them out of the skills we are asking of them. We have found that allowing dogs in group classes to take breaks to 'socialize' is counterproductive to their training and social skills.
Once your dog has the foundations started in private training, they are more mentally prepared to handle Workshops or Group Training, where there are more distractions from other people and dogs. And as they sharpen their skillset they will learn to be successful in these settings because of a clear consice foundation of training.
