Board and Train
At our facility, our Board and Train Memberships stand out as our most sought-after programs, and for a good reason. When you enroll your dog, they stay overnight with us, granting our dedicated team of trainers the perfect opportunity to instill a deeper understanding of your furry companion.
What makes these programs so successful? The answer is simple: we handle all the hard work on your behalf. This approach allows you and your dog to accelerate towards greater freedom and happiness at an unprecedented pace.
The key to achieving lasting success with your dog is the TRANSFER OF LEADERSHIP back to you, the owner. Our trainers not only work with your dog but also with you, providing the knowledge and skills necessary to continue training your dog effectively once they return home. We firmly believe that a well-trained dog is a happy dog, and a happy owner too!
If you’re eager to learn more about our Board and Train program and how it can benefit both you and your canine companion, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We invite you to set up a free evaluation, where we’ll assess your dog’s needs and provide you with a personalized plan for their training journey. Join us, and let’s embark on this transformative experience together. Your dog’s happiness and your peace of mind are just a call away!
Day and Train
Our Day and Train Program is the perfect blend of our highly popular Board and Train and Private Lesson Memberships. What sets this program apart is its unique approach: your dog spends their days with us, mastering the essential foundation of ATTENTION, and then returns home to sleep with you at night.
Here’s why the Day and Train Program is such a game-changer: it leverages the strengths of both daytime and nighttime training. Our team of expert trainers takes the reins during the day, doing the heavy lifting to instill essential skills and behaviors in your dog. Simultaneously, we empower you, the owner, to establish structure and boundaries at night.
By dividing the training into two distinct phases, we maximize the benefits for you and your furry friend. Daytime sessions are focused on teaching your dog vital skills, including attention, obedience, and socialization. These foundational skills form the basis for a well-behaved and happy canine companion.
At night, your dog returns home, ensuring that they remain a cherished part of your family life. This dual approach creates a seamless transition for your pet, allowing them to apply what they’ve learned in real-life situations with you.
The Day and Train Program offers the ultimate convenience, combining the expertise of our trainers with the comfort of your home life. It’s the ideal solution for busy individuals who want a well-trained dog without sacrificing quality time together.
Unlock the full potential of your dog’s behavior with our Day and Train Program. Contact us today to learn more and enroll your furry friend in this transformative experience. Your dog’s improved behavior and the convenience of nighttime bonding are just a phone call away!
Private Lessons
Discover the path to a harmonious bond with your furry friend through our Private Lesson Memberships. These memberships offer a unique opportunity for our team of trainers to instruct you, the owner, in utilizing the Sit Means Sit System to establish a profound foundation of ATTENTION in your dog.
