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! Although we specialize in rehabilitation work and dogs that are deemed "difficult" or "dangerous", we work with any breed, any size, any problem.
Boarded training is a great option to tackle a variety of different issues, ranging from potty training, basic and advanced obedience, behavioral modification, or a mixture of all.
All training takes place in the comfort of our family home where your pet will receive around-the-clock supervision by professional trainers.
Our home is located on nearly 2 acres of beautiful, semi-wooded property! It is completely privacy fenced and located on a private, dead-end road outside of the city limits.

INTENSIVE BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION (AGGRESSION)
Behavior Modification (aggression) is a 6-8 week program designed specifically for dogs who exhibit intense aggressive behavior such as lunging, snarling, growling or attacking other animals or humans. We specialize in working with extremely challenging dogs. No dog has ever been turned away from our program because of dangerous or undesired behavior. Aggression rehabilitation is much more intense than working than obedience. It takes much longer to complete and is much more dangerous for the staff/staff dogs. As such, the length of the program and the results for each individual dog may vary. 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. Due to the potential danger and special precautions, there is an additional $100.00 fee for the assessment of any aggressive or reactive dog. Following the assessment, a customized rehabilitation plan for your dog will be put in place during the boarded program. The base program length is 6 weeks, however, additional weeks may be added if deemed necessary during the behavioral assessment or beginning stages or the boarded training program.
