Board and Train

This program is a 3 week program

 E Collar training

This program is for the busy family that wants a trained dog but may not have the time to teach the dog.

It is also for the dog that has some behavioral problems that need to be addressed.

The dog will stay with the trainer for 3 weeks.  During that time they will learn to listen to commands and learn proper doggy manners.  After the training the dog, our focus shifts to teaching the owners.  We want to make sure you can implement the changes needed to continue the newly learned behaviors.  You will have 2 private lessons to make sure you are comfortable with the training and the tools.  The first is a 2 hour "Go Home" session where you learn the techniques used and get hands on teaching with the tools.  The second session is to answer any remaining questions and make sure you understand the program.  Afterwards you will continue to have support via phone and e-mail as needed for the life the dog.  It is our mission to make sure your dog succeeds.

So, what exactly will your dog be doing during his/her stay? From the first moment we meet your dog, we will be begin strict rules and boundaries. This covers behaviors like whining, jumping, barking, lunging on the leash, nipping, issues in the crate, and other manners. We teach basic obedience commands in order to help build a respectful relationship. Your dog will learn the basics of walking on the leash, sit/stay, down/stay, place and come/recall. We utilize each of these commands in our general day-to-day activities in order to add clear structure to their lifestyle.  Our e-collar program is state-of-the-art.  Everything is done on a low level - so low that most humans can't even feel it. It is truly one of the most humane methods of communication with a dog that is available.

We do everything we can to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to live happily ever after with your dog!

Potty Animals Program (1 week puppy board and train)

Having trouble with your new puppy? Want to jump start the potty training and other puppy behavior? Let us help to get your new puppy on the right track. This is a 7-day boarding program (your dog will stay with us for 7 days) focusing on house, crate, and leash training, developing a scheduled feeding and potty break routine, and to ultimately create a calm and focused puppy. Potty Animals is the program to help kick start a lifetime of good behavior.  At the end of the training we will have a 1-2 hour consultation/training lesson.  We will give you a custom potty, feeding and training schedule during your hands-one pick up lesson.

(This program has worked for many dogs but we cannot guarantee they will never have accidents.  It is merely a perfect starting point.)

This program is for dogs under 5 months old. Must have 1st round of shots and okay from your vet to take your puppy to public places.

Adult programs

Basic Obedience

5 Private Lessons

This program is for the owner that wants to be involved in the daily process of training and has the extra time to invest.  This will allow the dog to stay in your home and you do the training. You will meet with the trainer once a week for approximately 1 hour per session for 5 weeks.  You will be taught training techniques to practice and have "homework" between each lesson.  You will learn how to be the leader and get your dog to look to you for guidance.  Your dog will learn basic obedience but more importantly they will learn to be more respectful and listen to your commands.  We show you how to add structure to your daily activities so your dog has a clear understand of what is expected of them.  Often times dogs get in to trouble simply from not understanding what they should or should not do. 

This program requires more of a time commitment from you but if you enjoy working with your dog and are able to enforce the new rules, this program is the one for you.
