RESIDENT
BOARD & TRAIN

If you lead a very busy life, lack the time or patience to deal with your dog, or have a good dog and want a great dog, the comprehensive Resident Board & Train program is for you.

​

The program has a minimum stay of 21 days.  Most dogs finish between 21 and 30 but if more time is needed your pup stays until the standards are met.  You are paying for a standard of training not just a set number of days.  Every dog trains at a different speed and has different capabilities.

 

I train your dog various obedience concepts and commands to an off-leash level and work with your dog to polish those skills. I then teach YOU in a private send-home lesson when your dog is ready to return home to you. Additionally, I provide continued support for as long as you own your dog.

I address problematic behaviors and give you a break — reducing stress for you, your family, and your dog.

Your Dog's Progress

You will be able to monitor your dog's progress in the program by monitoring my Facebook page and you will receive video clips of the special training sessions so you can see for yourself that your pup is making exceptional progress.

As part of the training, your dog will:

Go on trips and learn to have fun without stress or confusion. 

Travel often in cars and SUVs, and interact with adults, children, and lots of other dogs. 

Learn to behave/work in public places, inside stores (that allow dogs), and even restaurants (which allow dogs). 

Live with me and interacts with my family, my dogs, and other dogs in training every day and night during their stay and will be looked after 24 hours a day, unlike a standard kennel facility.

Graduation from this program is not the end of your dog's training.

 

As a serious dog owner who opts for professional dog training, you must be willing to commit time to improve your dog's behavior. 

​

Structure, fairness, consistency, guidance, direction, and exercise are the ingredients for success. I show you how to apply each one correctly, achieve your goals and build a stronger relationship with your dog that you will appreciate for a lifetime.
