Why Board and Train May Help Your Dog

Board and Train provides an immersive format in which your dog receives structured instruction and repeated practice over a defined period. The specific curriculum depends on the selected program.

Focused Training

Your trainer works with your dog throughout the program instead of relying only on weekly lessons. This format provides more opportunities to introduce commands, practice routines, and reinforce appropriate responses.

Training Around Distractions

Applicable programs include work around distractions, off-leash recall, or training in real-world environments. The level of distraction work varies based on the program and your dog’s needs.

Programs for Different Training Needs

Off Leash K9 Training of Spokane separates obedience programs from behavior-modification programs. Dogs with aggression, reactivity, fear, severe anxiety, or bite histories can be evaluated for an option that reflects the seriousness of the concern.

Owner Education

Applicable programs conclude with an owner turnover and education session. During this session, you learn the commands and handling techniques introduced during training.

Experienced Spokane Training Team

The published trainer information identifies Danna, Erica, and Brenna as AKC Evaluators. Danna and Erica have completed continuing education related to behavior modification and scent detection.
