FAQs

Board-and-train is a comprehensive training program where your dog stays with one of our experienced trainers for an extended period of time to receive personalized training. During their stay, our trainers work one-on-one with your dog to teach obedience, house manners and proper socialization. After the training goals are met, the dog returns home with the skills and behaviors necessary for a happy and healthy life with you.

The structure of the board-and-train program is important. Therefore, we do not allow owners to visit during the program. Your trainer will provide you plenty of photo and video updates of your dog's progress and adventures.

On a case-by-case basis, we can schedule a midterm training session with owners.

Training for aggressive or anxious dogs (also known as behavior modification training) is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. This program can be explored during a free consutation.

Each program has its own estimated time frame. We say "estimated" because training is tailored to your pet.

Puppy school is estimated to be 7 - 10 days long.

Basic obedience is estimated to be 2 - 3 weeks long.

Advanced training is estimated to be 3 - 5 weeks long.

If your dog needs additional training time to meet the training goals, we will extend their training at no cost to the owner.

Of course! When we arrange for your dog to come home, we will set up a 2-hour training session just for you. During this session, we will teach you all that you need to know to confidently and consistently keep up with the training. If you have any questions after the session has passed, you can always reach out to the trainer you worked with.

If you are in a program that offers off-leash training (advanced training program), yes, we will utilize an e-collar. We will not use an e-collar unless a proper foundation has been established and your dog demonstrates an understanding of what is being asked.
