Your dog lives in my home, under my care and is trained daily through structured sessions, play, and real world exposure. Dogs are crated and rotated when not being trained and once appropriate behaviour is shown, they are allowed to socialize with my own dogs freely, under supervision. Relationship building, engagement, and clear communication are the foundation of everything we do. We focus heavily on the things most owners struggle with or don’t fully understand like teaching dogs how to learn, how to think, how to communicate with people and dogs, how to try and how to work through pressure without shutting down or becoming reactive/aggressive. • Typical program length is 4–8 weeks (length depends on the dog and what needs to be addressed) • 1 on 1 consultation at drop off to go over the training plan in detail. • 8 mandatory private lessons included after the program (lessons are required to maintain and transfer the training) • Full write up & training plan provided post program, tailored to your dog for long term success and reliability. What can be involved in a Board & Train: • Obedience foundation (heel, sit, down, stand, stay, recall) • Place command • Crate training • Play (tug, fetch) & toy rules • Nail trim & grooming desensitization • Social skills with other dogs • Environmental exposure (surfaces, sounds, people, places) • Confidence building • Leash manners •Off Leash & Ecollar • Sit/Down stay with distractions • Manners (jumping, mouthing, barking, lack of impulse control) • Nervous/Fear behaviour • Reactivity • Resource guarding • Aggression • Anxiety
