The Problem

You’ve tried YouTube. You’ve tried treats. But nothing sticks. Sound familiar?

Does your dog:

  • Your dog pulls on every walk.
  • Ignores you at the park.
  • Loses their mind when guests arrive.

You don’t have a bad dog. You have a communication gap.

2 Week Board and Train Program

Our 2 Week Board and Train program, suitable for dogs aged five months and older, is designed to develop essential obedience skills and foster solid, dependable behavior. The program begins by establishing clear communication methods with your dog, enabling effective mastery of basic commands including loose leash walking, appropriate door manners, and impulse control (eliminating behaviors such as counter surfing, nipping, herding, and jumping on people), as well as reliable off-leash recall. We also focus on foundational commands such as sit, down, stay, and leave it. As your dog demonstrates their proficiency, we further reinforce these skills in high-distraction environments such as stores and restaurants to ensure they are well-prepared to accompany you and your family in various settings.
