Board & Train

For dogs 8 mos and under.

This program primarily focuses on teaching our puppies how to function in the human world!

We work on:

• being comfortable in a crate, or confined to an ex-pen or behind a gate

• house training

• socialization

• building confidence

• settling calmly in the house - being able to be bored

• counter surfing prevention

• polite greetings,

• not stealing things around the house

• handling and grooming skills

as well as the building blocks for our obedience behaviors.

We aim to take two field trips per week with our puppies aimed at creating positive interactions with the world and socializing them. 

​​

This program includes 4 transfer lessons for a 2 week stay, and 1 additional transfer lesson per additional week.

This program was created to focus on "lifestyle skills". The core focus of this program is to teach our dogs how to be the best companion dog they can be, and to be easy and joyful to share our home with. 

​

In this program we work on building our general household manners, such as:

• respecting gates and doors - no rushing through them

• settling calmly in the house

• polite greetings with guests 

• not stealing things around the house

• counter surfing prevention, or stopping counter surfing if it has already started

• being comfortable confined or behind a gate

• building a foundation for polite leash walking skills

​

We want you and your dog to have the best life together possible, and this program is a great step in that direction!

​

This program includes 2 transfer lessons for a 2 week stay and one additional transfer lesson per additional week.​​

This program is for the dogs who are ready to take things to the next level, or maybe have something a little extra to work on. This program gives more in depth focus on specific skills to help you reach your goals. ​​

In this program we work on everything included in the Companion Dog program with a stronger focus on the leash walking skills. In this program you can also select for your dog to focus on one of the following skills:

• reactivity

• cooperative care or handling skills

• public obedience skills - let's take their skills on the road!

• setting a foundation for off leash skills.

​

If you have other specific skills or goals for your dog this program is a great option for customization.
