Benefits of an in home board and train:
It's a much easier transition for your dog to go from your home to another home than if you were to board in a kennel environment. Therefore your dog will settle in better, be less nervous which means we can get to training much sooner!
Since they live with me in my home your pup will get 24/7 supervision and care as well as a camera on them while they are alone
The training your pup receives will transfer much easier since they learned it in the same type of environment they are going home to!
There is always a maximum of two dogs in this program. That means your pup will get lots of individualized care and attention and a lot more training time!
You pup will be allowed relaxation and free time in the house every day to practice calm behaviors in the house and learning to relax when it's winding down time
Enrichment activities are provided daily via bones, frozen Kong's or searching games
Play and socialization with other friendly dogs in the program
Your pup will get individual interactive play with your trainer daily for exercise as well as creating a stronger bond through doing fun activities together
What's included:
Weekly/biweekly 1:1 sessions and a 1-2 hour go home at the end- so you get to see your dog weekly/every other week!
3-4 updates per week with videos and pictures of your dog and how they are doing that week
Discount on sessions for 2 months after the completion of the board and train
How it works: Your pup will stay in the trainer's home Monday through Friday. On Friday you will schedule a session with the trainer to go over what your pup learned that week. Then you’ll take your pup home for the weekend to practice what you learned and on Monday when you drop off again you’ll give the trainer feedback on what worked and what didn’t. This allows your trainer to work on the things you struggled with the most and for you to get a feel for how your dog is progressing throughout their training!
Cost: $1250/week
Intensive Day Training Program
Day training offers the same benefits of a board and train without your pup staying overnight! This program is best for young puppies, who are still struggling with crate and potty training, people who are nervous about their dog staying overnight somewhere new, or nervous dogs that need to build confidence without the added stress of being immersed in a new environment for a long period of time. This program is perfect for dogs who are not suited for our Day School Program at our building!
How it works: You will drop off your pup in the morning at the trainers home. Throughout the day your pup will get taken out for training and socializing as well as many field trips during their program. At night you will pick up your pup and get a brief overview of how they did that day. Once a week (on Fridays) you will get a 1:1 session to go over what your pup did that week and what to practice for next week. You will take your pup home for the weekend to practice the skills you both learned and give your trainer feedback on what needs work the next week. How long your program is will depend on your goals and expectations for your pup!

Weekly 1:1 sessions and a 1-2 hour go home at the end
Daily updates at pick up and videos of their progress 3-4 times per week
