Board and Train Programs

If you're looking for a more hands off program where we do most of the work, the board and train program is perfect for you. We have 3 different length programs where your dog will live with us trainers. Training happens all day, everyday. This insures the best training possible and will closely mimic the scenarios and environments that you and your furry friend will run into.

3 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train

Our behavior modification program is best for dogs with stubborn behavioral problems and consists of more advanced concepts to modify or distinguish these undesired behaviors. We use a systematic approach to changing a dog's behavior.  This program is designed to change a dog's negative reaction to a situation, person, environment, and/or an animal. This module utilizes behavioral concepts such as: counter conditioning,  differential association, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, negative punishment, sensory flooding, exposure therapy, systematic desensitization, and behavior extinction.

Obedience is essential in all dog training, so we will also teach basic obedience behaviors that can be used in conjunction to the behavior modification module. These behaviors can be used for a more enjoyable experience in public or be used to show off how smart your new graduate is. This program also includes transitional training in one-on-one lessons where we teach you our behavior modification system and how to reinforce these desired behaviors at home.
