FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is a Board and Train program?
A Board and Train program is an intensive dog training experience where your dog stays with us for a set period of time to receive training. The program is designed to teach your dog essential skills and behaviors while they are cared for in a controlled environment. Your dog will receive one-on-one attention and structured training sessions every day.
2. How long will my dog stay in the Board and Train program?
The duration of the program typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your dog’s specific needs and goals. We’ll provide a custom training plan based on your dog’s progress and the behaviors you want to address.
3. What will my dog learn during the Board and Train?
During their stay, your dog will work on a range of behaviors, including basic obedience (sit, stay, recall), leash manners, crate training, and addressing behavior problems like jumping, barking, or chewing. Advanced training like off-leash obedience, socialization, and behavioral modification for aggression or anxiety can also be included, depending on your dog's needs.
4. Will my dog get enough exercise and playtime during their stay?
Yes! Along with training, your dog will receive daily exercise tailored to their energy level, including walks, play sessions, and possibly field trips to new environments to help reinforce their training in real-world settings. Our goal is to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated while they learn.
5. Will my dog be socializing with other dogs during the program?
Socialization opportunities are incorporated into the program based on your dog’s temperament and the specific goals for their training. Dogs who are comfortable around others may have supervised play sessions or field trips to interact with other dogs. If your dog has behavioral issues, we will address these gradually with positive reinforcement.
6. What kind of training methods do you use?
We are balanced trainers, we use the common sense approach.
7. Can I visit my dog during the Board and Train program?
To ensure your dog remains focused on their training and doesn't get distracted, we generally recommend that owners not visit during the program. However, we will keep you updated on their progress with regular communication, photos, and video updates. At the end of the program, you’ll receive a private session to go over what your dog has learned.
8. How will I continue my dog’s training once the program is complete?
When your dog returns home, we’ll provide you with a transition plan to ensure the training continues. This may include follow-up sessions to reinforce their skills, as well as guidance on how to maintain consistency in your dog’s behavior. We also provide ongoing support to help you implement the training at home.
9. What happens if my dog has behavioral issues or anxiety during their stay?
If your dog experiences anxiety or behavioral challenges, we’ll work with them on desensitization and counter-conditioning techniques to help them adjust. Our trainers are experienced in working with dogs who have fear or anxiety, and we will modify the program to address these needs in a compassionate, effective way.
10. What is included in the cost of the Board and Train program?
The cost includes all training sessions, daily exercise, boarding accommodations, and care during the stay. We will also provide you with a final training session at the end of the program to review your dog’s progress and demonstrate how to continue their training at home. Any additional services, such as follow-up sessions are described in the individual programs above.
