This program runs for 4 weeks.The dog stays in our houme and integrates into our pack of dogs. We have a 100% open door policy, meaning we will never tell you that you can't come see your dog! In fact, we require you to come visit and learn right alongside your dog. This is not a "drop them off and come back when they're done" program. If we don't teach you how we made your dog so successful, they won't be able to maintain that success at home. We also have a "train the second dog in the home for free" option, where we will do private lessons at no cost with additional dogs at home. This helps familiarize you with our techniques and helps you prepare for the dog that is in boarding to come home and be successful! Equipment is included in the program, but this covers only one dog, additional dogs will run you about $250 each. We even allow your close friends to come participate in the training if you can coordinate to make one appointment. The program goes through to advanced off leash training in the 4 week period. We do all the hard work here, then follow up with you for the rest of the dog's life to ensure that they stay successful and continue to progress! We cover all the same basics in our in home program, but we put in the hard work here, upfront, so that you don't have to struggle with daily lessons. This is a great option for people who are extremely busy and can't handle day to day training sessions with their dog. Or a great option for people who travel frequently and want to have their dog trained while they are out of town. 

​

To reiterate, what we train during this program is:

1. OFF leash obedience. Having the dog recall without a leash in high distraction environments

2. ON leash manners. Having the dog walk politely past other dogs, food, traffic, etc. (Yes, even reactive dogs who bark constantly meet this goal!) 

3. Maintaining calm behavior during events such as guests at the door, dinner time, people walking past the house, etc. We teach the dog to stay calmly while you greet guests and allow them into the house, then you can let the dog up to greet them when he or she is calm. 

4. Heeling OFF leash. Have you ever seen someone walking and drop the leash and their dog still stays at their side and follows along with them? Or have you ever tried carrying bags and boxes into your house while holding a leash of an excited dog? imagine being able to let go of that leash and carry your groceries into the house, with the dog walking calmly at your side! 

5. Sit and Stay. We go above and beyond in the sit stay. There are plenty of programs that will teach your dog to sit so that you can walk away six feet, then return or call them. What we offer is a dog that can sit and stay while food is dropped on the floor, while you open the door to sign for a package, while other dogs pass by on the trail, while children are running around, or any other high distraction situation that may arise and require your attention elsewhere. We give the dog enough impulse control to be able to maintain a safe sit, stay while you handle whatever may come your way. 

6. Developmental training games. We teach you how to make training fun for both you and the dog. We have games that we teach you during these lessons so that you are practicing obedience, but it doesn't feel like it. It feels like playing a game of hide and seek with the dog! Or it feels like "Doggy Parkour", which is actually a fabulous confidence building exercise, as well as a wonderful proprioceptive development option for growing brains and bodies! 

Of course, this program carries our absolute guarantee, where we will NOT leave you hanging if you are struggling. We can extend the boarding to cover additional problem solving if necessary. And we also give you an additional 30 days once the dog goes home to call and let us know you are struggling, then we will rebook the boarding absolutely for free! In 8 years that we have had this policy in place, we have only had three dogs come back. Considering that we board and train around 100 dogs per year, we like those statistics! And lastly, lets not forget our "Training For Life Guarantee" where we will allow you to come back for follow up lessons and free access to our group sessions for the life of the dog! 

​

Now that we have discussed the value of the program, lets talk numbers:

This program starts at $3750 and may go up depending on severity of aggression, bite risk, medical concerns, management concerns, etc. Its best to set up a consltation if you are looking at boarding being your best option!Call for more info! Don't forget that we offer a $500 discount on this program to veterans, first responders, teachers and nurses.

​

We aren't the cheapest option out there, but you are getting almost 25 years of professional experience, guaranteed results, and lifetime back up training. This is an investment in the entire life of your dog. You won't regret making the investment with us. Many of our clients come to us after spending thousands on multiple other programs and trainers with little to no success. If you're looking for absolutely positive progress, we are here for you!
