Obedience Board and Train programs are available in two-, four-, and five-week formats, while behavior-modification Board and Train options are available in four-, eight-, and ten-week formats. Depending on the selected program, training may include foundational obedience, on- and off-leash work, structured repetition, owner education, and training around distractions. 

Available obedience Board and Train options:

  • 2 Week Foundation Board and Train: Designed for dogs that need on- and off-leash obedience without behavior-modification needs. The program includes six guaranteed commands, full off-leash recall, work around multiple distractions, household manners, an e-collar, and an owner turnover and education session.

Puppy Training and Socialization

Early foundations such as potty training, crate training, socialization, and positive behavior shaping can begin when a puppy comes home. Standard basic obedience begins at five months because of the dog’s growth and socialization window.

The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package includes six weekly positive-reinforcement group sessions. Topics include potty training, nutrition, first aid, vaccination schedules, positive behavior shaping, socialization, imprinting, and commands such as come, sit, place, heel, and down. Testing for AKC S.T.A.R. certification is provided during the final class.

An online puppy training course is also available. It covers potty and crate training, confidence building, pack leadership, basic commands taught through marker-and-reward methods, and common puppy problems.
