Board and Train 

While here for Board and Train your dog will learn traditional commands such as heel, down, sit, stay, down- stay and come when called. I firmly believe that all of these commands must be solidly understood by your dog through proper teaching methods before the introduction of distractions from the real world.  Once your dog has learned the commands, obeying them    is accomplished through sound management, socialization and repetition. Traditional command training (i.e.: sit, stay, down and come) will help you, the owner, communicate easily with your dog when it comes time for your dog to return home.  Once home you will be able to communicate with them in a manner the truly understand. All packages include a training session at your home to ensure a smooth transition from our place to yours.

First Step to Training a Better dog is Proper Socialization:

Proper socialization training is essential to your dog becoming a calm, confident  and self controlling animal.  While here your dog will interact with well mannered and well socialized dogs under  the strict supervison of a strong, fair and highly communicative human pack leader. Controlled socialization  is essential to the rehabilitation of dog aggressive dogs as well as fear reactive, under socialized dogs.  Proper socialization training  also teaches your dog  what is appropriate behavior in the human society. Social training addresses the issues of nipping, jumping, excessive exuberance and an overall general lack of self control that is not accepted in the canine social group and should not be tolerated in the human world. A dog cannot be properly trained in obedience until it is properly balanced through socialization.

Anti Social~Aggressive~Special Needs Dogs

 I specialize in working with aggression and anti social behavioral problems in dogs, which need to go through intense rehabilitation. Dogs with aggression and or dominance issues need to be worked with intensely while here. If your dogs displays  any of the following behaviors it must be enrolled in this program

Ø     Dogs that believe they can control humans and other dogs through intimidation

Ø     Dogs that have learned they can bite people

Ø     Dogs that are aggressive with other dogs and animals

Ø     Dogs that exhibit severe fear issues which include fear aggression

Training includes all the basic obedience training plus exceptional reprogramming/rehabilitation/ socialization in the presence of distractions that would normally trigger the dog’s anti-social behavior.

Puppies under 6 months old

I generally do not recommend Board n Train for puppies under 6 months old unless your pup is showing signs of severe aggression or other concerning behaviors for a pup that age.  The reason behind this is although a pup can be taught “commands” i.e. sit, stay down ect, through food rewards, demanding complete compliance and social acceptance is just more than their little brains can take. Also adult dogs do not interact with puppies the way they do and adolescent dog. In essence we do not expect as much as we do from a 6 month old puppy as we do an adolescent dog.  On occasion I do take puppies under 6 months of age for severe behavior problems or house breaking issues.
