Board and Train Programs

Board and Train provides an immersive training format in which your dog works directly with professional trainers over a defined period.

Current obedience-focused options include:

  • 2 Week Foundation Board and Train: An obedience-focused immersive program for dogs without behavior-modification needs. Training includes sit, down, place, heel, loose-leash and off-leash walking, recall, greeting manners, door manners, meal manners, and working around distractions.
  • 4 Week Elite Board and Train: A customized obedience program for dogs without behavior-modification needs. It includes foundational skills, on- and off-leash obedience, owner education, homework, training supplies, and an Owner Turnover and Education Session.
  • 5 Week Complete Board and Train: An extended obedience program for dogs without behavior-modification concerns. It includes on- and off-leash obedience around distractions, structured repetition in real-world environments, owner education, and an AKC Canine Good Citizen test.

Applicable Board and Train programs include a hands-on Owner Turnover and Education Session. During this session, owners learn the commands, handling techniques, and structure introduced during training so they can continue reinforcing those skills at home.

Puppy Training

Puppies can begin learning age-appropriate foundational skills before they are old enough for certain adult training methods.

The Spokane FAQ states that puppies younger than five months can be trained using clicker-and-treat methods. The current Plans & Pricing page also lists an Online Puppy Training Course covering puppy foundations such as potty training, crate training, confidence building, marker-and-reward basic commands, and prevention of common puppy problems.

Because in-person puppy options and scheduling may change, confirm current availability during your free phone consultation.

Group obedience classes

Group Obedience Classes

Group lessons allow owners to participate directly in training while working around other participating dogs and owners.

The Spokane FAQ describes basic group lessons as a facility-based option. Advanced group lessons may require completion of an eligible obedience course or Board and Train program first.

Confirm current class schedules and prerequisites before enrolling.

Behavior Modification Training

The current Plans & Pricing page lists a 4 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train for dogs with minor behavior-modification needs involving concerns such as anxiety, fear, timidness, reactivity, or aggression around dogs or people.

The program includes foundational skills, a customized behavior-modification plan, owner education, homework, training supplies, and an Owner Turnover and Education Session.

A free phone consultation helps determine whether the current behavior program is appropriate for your dog’s needs. Major behavioral issues should not be presented as guaranteed fixes, and owners should discuss severity and behavior history with the training team before selecting a program.

Therapy Dog Preparation

The 4 Week Therapy Dog Prep Board and Train builds foundational skills and prepares dogs for environments and distractions they may encounter during therapy work.

After successful completion of the training program, owners can register and test for certification with the recommended evaluator. Completing the training itself does not automatically certify the dog.

Dog Behavior Problems We Help Address

Dog Behavior Problems We Help Address

Leash Pulling and Difficult Walks

Loose-leash walking, Heel, distraction work, and eligible off-leash practice can help Mead dogs build calmer, more manageable walking skills.

Barking, Lunging, and Reactivity

Behavior modification may address barking, lunging, and reactivity through foundational skills, owner education, and homework. Results vary, and complete elimination is not guaranteed.

Jumping and Poor Household Manners

Training may address jumping, greeting manners, door manners, and waiting politely for meals, helping owners build clearer expectations and more manageable daily routines.

Aggression and Reactivity

Behavior modification may address aggression or reactivity around dogs or people. Serious aggression or bite history should be discussed during the free phone consultation first.

Fear and Anxiety

Behavior modification may support fearful, anxious, or timid dogs through structured training. Recommendations depend on the dog, and sudden behavior changes may warrant veterinary input.

Recall and Off-Leash Reliability

Current Board & Train options may include recall, off-leash obedience, and distraction work. The Foundation program specifically includes full off-leash recall for eligible dogs.
