   Our Behavior Board & Train program is designed for dogs struggling with reactivity to humans and/or other dogs, aggression, fear, or other behavioral challenges. This immersive training experience provides a structured, supportive environment where your dog can build confidence, develop better coping skills, and learn more appropriate behaviors under the guidance of a professional trainer.

   In addition to addressing the behavioral concerns, your dog will also learn essential obedience skills tailored to your previously discussed goals. These may include come, sit, down, place, leave it, drop and more.

   During your dog's stay they will live in the trainer's home 24/7, not a kennel, ensuring consistent personalized care and attention. Recommended equipment is included in the cost of the program. At completion of the program you will receive one year of free maintenance training for continued success.

   Our Obedience Board and Train program is deal for dogs with minimal behavioral concerns, such as jumping, pulling on leash, counter surfing, or digging in the yard, who need structured training to become well mannered members of their community. This program focuses on building a strong foundation in obedience, ensuring your dog listens reliably at home and in real world settings.

   Just like our Behavior Board and Train, dogs in this program live in the trainer's home full time, not in a kennel, allowing for personalized attention and consistency. Training is tailored to each owner's goals and may include commands such as come, sit, down, place, heel, leave it, and more!

   The length of the program is adjustable based on your training goals. If off leash reliability is your goal a minimum of four weeks is required unless your dog has completed prior training.

   Recommended training equipment is included is the program cost. Additionally, you'll receive one year of free maintenance training to support you and your dog's continued success.

   Day Training offers a flexible, convenient alternative to Board and Train by combining the structure of daily drop offs with personalized, goal oriented training. Similar to doggy daycare, you drop your dog off in the morning and they spend the day with us, but instead of dangerous unstructured play, your dog's day will be filled with goal focused training and some structured, monitored play.

   Each dog's program is fully individualized to meet their specific needs and goals, ensuring they are progressing in areas that matter most to you, whether it's basic obedience, addressing behavioral issues or building new skills. Ideally, dogs will be dropped off five days a week, a minimum of three days per week is required for maximum success.

   Adventure Lessons offer a unique and exciting way to enhance your dog's training in real world environments. This program is perfect for all dogs who have a basic understanding of training, but is especially helpful for dogs working through fear, confidence issues, or reactivity, though any dog looking to build skills and gain experience in new settings can benefit.

   Your trainer will pick your dog(s) up from your home, transport them to a nearby park or other pet friendly location and spend 60 minutes, per dog, working on your customized training goals while giving your dog the opportunity to exercise and explore their new surroundings. After the lesson, your dog will be safely transported home.

   This program is available to qualified dogs who have completed prior training, whether through one of our programs or with another trainer, and must past a behavior evaluation if coming from an outside program.
