What is a Board & Train Obedience Program?

What is a Board & Train Obedience Program?

 

A Board and Train program is a comprehensive dog training service that involves clients temporarily entrusting their canine companions to a professional trainer for a predetermined duration. During this period, the dog resides at our boarding facility, receiving not only accommodation but also intensive, professional training aimed at addressing specific training or behavioral goals.

​

Key Elements of a Board and Train Program:

​

  1. Duration:

    • The client selects a specific program that has a set time for the dog's stay, which can range from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the training objectives and the dog's needs.

  2. Professional Training:

    • The dog is under the constant supervision and guidance of an experienced and qualified trainer who specializes in behavior modification and obedience training. These trainers have expertise in assessing and addressing various behavioral issues.

  3. Behavioral Goals:

    • Before the program begins, the client and the trainer collaborate to define clear and achievable behavioral goals for the dog with a "Meet & Greet" appointment. These goals can include addressing issues such as obedience, leash manners, aggression, anxiety, or any specific concerns the owner may have.

  4. Intensive Training Sessions:

    • The dog participates in structured training sessions throughout each day, tailored to the established goals. These sessions cover a range of commands, behaviors, and socialization skills, ensuring a well-rounded training experience.

  5. Boarding Accommodations:

    • In addition to training, the dog is provided with boarding facilities, ensuring a comfortable and secure environment during their stay. This includes appropriate sleeping arrangements, play areas, and amenities to cater to the dog's physical and emotional well-being.  Upgraded suite levels may be available for an additional fee.

  6. Regular Updates:

    • Owners will receive regular updates on their dog's progress. This can include written or verbal reports, photos, and even videos to keep the client informed about the training journey.

  7. Transition and Follow-Up:

    • At the conclusion of the program, there is  a transition session where the trainer works with the owner to transfer the newly acquired skills and knowledge. Our  programs also include follow-up support to address any questions or challenges that may arise as the dog returns home.

​

A Board and Train program is an effective option for busy pet owners who may not have the time or expertise to address specific behavioral issues in their dogs. It provides a concentrated, focused approach to training, resulting in a well-behaved and more obedient canine companion.
