BOARDED TRAINING
Boarded training is our most popular training program because it allows us to have a more hands-on approach to training and correcting any behavioral issues your dog may have. All you have to do is maintain the training! We conduct training for a variety of different issues, ranging from potty training, obedience, behavioral modification, or a mixture of all.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Behavior Modification is designed specifically for dogs who need an individualized behavioral rehabilitation plan. These dogs have behavior issues beyond the scope of obedience training. If your dog is showing signs of aggression towards other animals or people, improper socialization, separation anxiety, fear, reactivity towards dogs or people, or other major issues that you don’t quite understand, this program is for you.
You must first identify the root of the problem before working to correct it, and that’s exactly what this program will do. The importance of strong-owner leadership is critical to this program; therefore, your participation will be required at the end of the boarded training.
This program requires the completion of a behavioral assessment prior to enrollment. Following the assessment, a customized rehabilitation plan for your dog will be put in place during the boarded program. The length/price of this program depends on the severity of the issues being addressed and the overall progression of the dog. Typical program length varies from 6-8(+) weeks.
Due to the potential danger and special precautions, there is an additional $100.00 fee for the assessment of any aggressive or reactive dog.
