Board and Train Programs

Obedience Board and Train options are available in two-, four-, and five-week formats. Curriculum and owner-education features vary depending on the selected program. 

  1. 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, outdoor recall around distractions, greeting manners, door manners, meal manners, place, heel, and full off-leash recall.
  2. 4 Week Elite Board and Train: Provides customized on- and off-leash obedience for dogs without behavior-modification needs. It includes foundational skills, structured habit development, customized owner education, homework, a graduation certificate, and an owner turnover and education session. 
  3. 5 Week Complete Board and Train: Includes customized obedience, on- and off-leash work around distractions, structured repetition, training in real-world environments, an owner education and turnover session, and an AKC Canine Good Citizen test. The program does not state that passing the test is guaranteed.

Obedience Board and Train programs include an owner turnover and education session. Continued practice and consistent handling help reinforce the skills covered during training. 

Puppy Training and Socialization

Standard basic obedience begins at five months because of the dog’s growth and socialization window. For younger puppies, available options include the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Package and an online puppy training course.

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.

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