Board and Train Programs

Board and Train provides immersive training while your dog stays with a trainer throughout the selected program. Depending on the option, training may include structured repetition, foundational obedience, work around distractions, and on- or off-leash skills.

2-Week Foundation Board and Train: Designed for dogs that need on- and off-leash obedience without behavior-modification needs. Training includes sit and extended sit, down and extended down, loose-leash and off-leash walking, come on command outdoors around distractions, place and extended place, heel, full off-leash recall, greeting manners, door manners, and waiting politely for meals.
4-Week Elite Board and Train: Provides customized on- and off-leash obedience for dogs without behavior-modification needs. The program includes foundational skills, structured habit development, customized owner education, homework, training supplies, and an owner turnover session.

The separate 4 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train is designed for minor concerns involving anxiety, fear, timidness, reactivity, or aggression toward dogs or people.

Behavior Modification Board and Train options are available in 4-, 8-, and 10-week formats. The 4 Week program is designed for minor needs, the 8 Week program addresses moderate concerns, and the 10 Week program is intended for severe needs such as bite history, severe anxiety, or serious conflict between household dogs. The 8 Week and 10 Week programs include customized owner education, go-home plans, and lifetime support.

Several Board and Train programs include work around distractions, while the 5 Week Complete program specifically includes structured repetition and training in real-world environments. The exact setting and training progression depend on the selected program.

Private Lesson Programs

Private lessons provide direct owner participation and one-on-one instruction. Available options include starter, basic, advanced, combined, behavior-modification, and separate in-home lesson packages.

Facility-based and in-home programs are structured differently. Depending on the package, lessons may include foundational obedience, calming and decompression techniques, socialization, pack leadership skills, advanced commands, or off-leash work. Cheney residents should confirm in-home eligibility and geographic availability before enrolling.

Group Training Classes

Group lessons allow owners and dogs to practice obedience in a structured class environment. The Basic Group Lesson Program covers foundational obedience, calming and decompression techniques, socialization, and pack leadership skills.

The Advanced Group Lesson Program includes conflict-resolution skills, preparation for veterinary and grooming appointments, advanced commands, chaos walks, and pack walks. Participants must have completed an eligible obedience course or Board and Train program.
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package includes six weekly positive-reinforcement group sessions focused on socialization, positive behavior shaping, puppy-care topics, and foundational commands such as come, sit, place, heel, and down.

Therapy Dog Preparation

Therapy dog preparation is available through a 12-lesson program or a 4 Week Therapy Dog Prep Board and Train. These programs prepare dogs for therapy dog testing and the environments and distractions they may encounter while working. After successful completion, owners can register and test for certification with the recommended evaluator. Training does not automatically provide therapy dog certification.

Dog Behavior Problems We Help Address

Leash Pulling and Difficult Walks Training may include heel, outdoor recall, leash skills, and obedience around distractions. Owners also learn handling techniques to make everyday walks safer and more manageable.
Barking, Lunging, and Reactivity Behavior-modification training may address barking, lunging, and reactivity through obedience, calming skills, structured practice, owner education, and homework based on the dog’s individual needs.
Jumping and Poor Household Manners Depending on the program, training may address jumping, greeting manners, door manners, place, extended place, off, and other obedience skills that support better behavior at home.
Aggression and Serious Behavior Concerns Training options for aggression depend on the dog’s behavior history, severity, bite history, anxiety, household conflicts, and individual needs. A consultation helps determine the most suitable program.
Fear, Anxiety, and Confidence Issues Behavior-modification programs may address fearful, anxious, or timid behavior through calming skills, decompression, obedience, structured practice, owner education, and individualized go-home guidance.
Recall and Off-Leash Reliability Training may include outdoor recall, heel, distance commands, off-leash obedience, and work around distractions. Owners should follow local leash laws and continue practicing the skills taught.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age does my dog need to be for training?

Standard e-collar programs require dogs to be at least 5 months old. For puppies younger than that, the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package and puppy-specific programs cover socialization and foundational skills using positive reinforcement. Starting at the right age creates a solid base for more advanced work later.

How much does dog training cost in Cheney?

Program costs vary based on the training format, duration, and services included. Review the current Plans and Pricing page for available options, then call (509) 481-9223 for a free phone consultation to discuss program fit, requirements, and scheduling availability.

Do you offer guarantees on training results?

Lifetime support is included with the 8 Week and 10 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train programs.

Training tools and methods vary by program. Available options include e-collar training, marker-and-reward instruction, positive-reinforcement puppy sessions, clickers, slip leads, training leashes, and structured repetition.
