Board and Train is a 2 week training program. Your pet will board with us and work with our skilled trainers until your pet has mastered the basic skills. The trainer will then schedule your dog's graduation and pick-up date. At this time you will be given a demonstration of your dog's obedience skills and the trainer will teach you handling skills and hand signals. Your trainer will discuss your behavior issues and tailor a correctional approach for you to follow at home. You will receive a Diploma upon graduation and scheduled follow-ups are always free.
