Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Training in Town and Country, WA
How long does dog training typically take?
Duration depends on the selected program. Current obedience Board and Train options run for two, four, or five weeks. The current Behavior Modification Board and Train and Therapy Dog Prep Board and Train are four-week programs. Private and group lesson schedules vary by the selected option.
What training methods do you use?
Methods vary by program. The Spokane website describes e-collar training alongside marker training and positive reinforcement, while younger puppy training may use clicker-and-treat methods. Your trainer can explain the methods and equipment associated with the program recommended for your dog.
Will my dog listen to me after Board and Train?
Applicable Board and Train programs include an Owner Turnover and Education Session where owners learn the commands, handling techniques, and structure used during training. Continued practice and consistent handling at home help reinforce the skills covered during the program.
Do you guarantee dog training results?
The Spokane FAQ publishes a first-lesson satisfaction guarantee. Separately, the 2 Week Foundation Board and Train page states that fixes for major dog or people aggression cannot be guaranteed through that program. Ask the training team how any guarantee applies to the specific program and goals you are considering.
