BOARD AND TRAIN PROGRAMS

Three to Five Week Obedience and Behavior Modification Board and Train - This program is for:

- Dogs with more severe behavior issues

- Owners looking for more solid obedience

- Younger puppies 16 weeks to 12 months 

​

This is a great option for owners who are looking for obedience, attention around distraction, problem solving more severe issues, and to improve the relationship they have with their dog. Since behaviors in dogs are attached to the environment in which they live and the people they live with, removing them from that environment allows us to focus on just the dog and starting them on a clean slate in a new, structured environment, setting the dog up for the best success possible.  By living at my home for during this time, your dog will develop a foundation of knowledge and behavior that will make it much easier for you to adapt the training mindset and lifestyle when your dog comes back home.  This will empower you to build on the relationship you have with your dog where he will look to you for the right leadership and guidance.

​

We specialize in low-level remote collar or, e-collar, training where we develop the ability to create consistent communication with dogs over varying distances.  The remote collar is one of the most versatile training tools which allows us to speak to our dog in a conversational way.  The training tools help us to establish communication with the dog in a way that makes sense to the dog and are the most humane and effective way to communicate.  That way, we get the right response and can help the dog overcome some of the most difficult challenges.

​

We pride ourselves on boutique-style, specialized, one-on-one attention paid to each individual dog and situation. By comparison to the rest of the industry, which tends to do a higher volume of dogs and longer programs, our very unique approach to training and rehabilitation allows us to go further with your dog in less time and create transformations unavailable elsewhere.

​

In this program we work on the following:

• Walking properly on a leash without pulling, barking, lunging, sniffing, or reacting to dogs and/or distractions.

• Sit

• Down

• Place command

• Recall/Come/Here

• Duration work (dog holds the command for periods of time(long stays))

• Waiting at Thresholds/patience

• Correcting bad behaviors - jumping up, counter-surfing, mouthing, nipping, barking, chasing, playing keep-away

• Crate/kennel nonsense(barking, whining, etc.)

• Treadmill

• Separation anxiety (some dogs need a longer program)

• Fear/Anxiety/Insecurity

• Heeling properly on a leash and eliminating leash reactivity (intense dogs need a longer program)

• Building confidence 

• Leadership skills and understanding that people are the leaders. This helps with pushy behavior in dogs

• We work with fear, anxiety, and insecurity that is usually contributing to unwanted behaviors

​

In the longer programs, we address all forms of unwanted behavior, including, but not limited to:

• Aggression

• Food and/or Resource Guarding

• Separation Anxiety

• Severe Fear Issues

• Reactivity On-Leash

​

All Board and Train programs include private one-on-one training, and ongoing phone and email support.  This includes a 30 minute consultation/meeting at our location at the time of drop-off; the 2-hour session at completion of your dog’s training with us, where we will transfer all of the information, techniques, and strategies to you to insure your continued success;  You also receive two 1-hour follow up sessions scheduled about a week after your initial 2-hour session and then again three weeks later.  All training sessions take place at our location in Ramona, CA.  Email and phone support is available during your one-on-one sessions and after the program is complete.  In order to obtain the best results possible, you will need to implement the right structure and leadership at home and implement all training protocols recommended to you.

​

Those coming to us to train from far, either out of state or who live outside of San Diego County and staying local to us overnight - we typically schedule the first two private teaching sessions on back-to-back days. The third teaching session is typically scheduled as a follow-up at some point in the future when it is good for you. This is for your convenience and needs to be planned far in advance.

​

Each dog will receive a remote training collar (e-collar), prong training collar, martingale, and 10ft training lead.
