Board and Train

Are you feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of adding dog training to your busy schedule? A board and train program might be the answer.

Dogs who come here for Boarding and Training receive undivided attention. We generally only take one dog at a time, or multiple dogs from the same family. Boarding dogs sleep in a crate in the house. During the day they will  socialize with well-mannered resident dogs in between training sessions. And training sessions are on-going throughout the day. The location is a quiet, peaceful country setting with three large fenced areas around the house and training building for dogs to romp, train and play in.

You will receive progress reports via email every few days, one follow-up training session in your home and written materials for you to reference when working with your dog.

Training methods are dog-friendly, force-free and focus on positive reinforcement. We do not use electronic shock collars (E-collars), physical punishment or harsh leash corrections.

Your dog will learn:

House manners
Doorway control
Sit and Down
Stay
Release
Come when called**
Leave-it
Loose-leash walking
Optional ~ Go to Bed and Settle

**Come when called is an exercise that requires time and practice for the dog to become proficient. The progress we make will depend on the amount of time your dog is here.

Length of Stay ~ The length of time your dog is here will depend on the goals you have for your dog. The following packages are a starting point. But, we have had dogs here for as little as ten days...it depends on your dog and your expectations.

Two-Week Jump Start Package

This is a good program if you want to do your own training, but want to avoid the early learning/training process. It is also a good program for dogs who need a little brush-up.

Three Week Intermediate Package

In addition to teaching basic obedience and manners, this package includes light distraction training

Five Week Master Package

During this five-week Master Package, your dog will go on several field trips to various locations for proofing and distraction training. You can also request training of a specific task, such as bring it here/release,  go to bed, etc.

Board and Train Fees: $40 per day
