This program is designed to provide an immersive training experience for your dog. Your dog will come to my home, not a facility, and be integrated into my pack, merging into my day-to-day life. After all, your dog lives in a home, they should be trained in a similar environment.

The nature of this program ensures that your dog is getting trained 24/7.

A board and train program does all of the heavy lifting for you. You don’t need to do several training sessions per day and dedicate hours per week like Private Sessions. You don’t need to drive through bumper-to-bumper traffic to meet at a park somewhere.

I’ll do everything for you and update you along the way, providing pictures, videos, and most importantly - education so you know how to keep up with training when your dog gets back from training.

This program is tailored and crafted to your dog specifically, your goals as a dog owner and the dream life you want to live with your dog.

Here at Team K9 Training, no two board and train programs are the same, because no two dogs are the same.

This program isn’t a magic wand.

No dog training program is.

You WILL need to make lifestyle changes. Not only in your environment but also in your interactions with your dog on a day-to-day basis.

Just because I do the heavy lifting for you, I bring you 90% of the way - it’s your job to get to the finish line through the consistency of implementing simple training protocols you’ll be provided.

You can expect owner education and instruction while your dog is with me along with an in-depth 2 to 3-hour Go Home Session for you to practice the training protocols and reinforcement of training once you return home.

While every single board and train program and dog is different and therefore personalized as such, you can depend on certain obedience commands to be taught.

• “Sit”: This will help you in situations where you need your dog to stay near you in stimulating environments like parks, and near roads and aids in polite greetings.

• “Down” This will help you during socialization sessions, bringing your dog to public spaces, aids in mental stimulation, and is used for safety in certain situations.

• “Come”: Also known as “recall” is one of the most important commands to ensure safety and security. This command will allow your dog to experience freedom and fulfillment in exploring the world safely and will give you peace of mind.

• “Place”: One of the most versatile and used commands in dog training, this command helps hyper dogs, provides safety when socializing, and mental stimulation, and has a variety of other use cases.

• “Heel": The most desired of dog training commands - this will allow you to have that loose leash walk of your dreams. No more pulling and lunging on walks

Then we’ll also work on remedying the specific and individual problems the dog is struggling with like confidence, anxiety, fear, or hyper-activity. We’ll also work on owner-focused issues like removing counter surfing, trash diving, destructive chewing, digging, and other nuisance behaviors.

The most important aspect of any dog training program, regardless if it is Private Lessons, Group Classes or even a Board and Train - is dog owner education.

However, the primary benefit of a Board and Train program is…well think of it this way:

• You can learn how to build a computer while simultaneously learning how to operate it - OR - I can build the computer for you and simply teach you how to work the keyboard, mouse, the best software to use to accomplish your goal and set you up for progressing in success as you get better at using the computer.

So for you, dog owner, I won’t spend hours charging you money to teach you the intricate science of Operant and Classical Conditioning, Reinforcement Schedules, Differential Reinforcement, the Impact of Hormones, and the Critical Development Period on behavior.

Instead, I’ll teach you functional and practical methods and techniques based on the science of dog training.

You’ll learn foundational dog training theory to help you long term and understand the WHY behind the HOW of dog training- but then you’ll learn the hands-on application of practical dog training.

You can anticipate being guided step-by-step on how to reinforce all obedience commands. I’ll first demonstrate what your dog has learned and then hold your hand as I teach you how to upkeep what your dog has learned.

When you enroll in a board and train program, you won’t need to go and purchase a laundry list of items as an additional cost on top of the training program.
