Comprehensive Puppy to Adult Board and Train

This two-phase pathway begins with the 10-day puppy foundation at 12 to 24 weeks old. The dog later returns between 8 months and 1.5 years old for the 2 Week Board & Train.

The adult phase covers formal obedience, work around distractions, and off-leash recall when applicable. Free refresher obedience lessons are included for the life of the dog.

Both programs require continued owner practice at home. Progress varies according to the puppy’s development, temperament, environment, and owner consistency.

Behavior Modification Board and Train

This separate three-week Board & Train is designed for dogs with dog-directed aggression, human-directed aggression, or both. Program suitability, behavior history, and safety requirements should be discussed with the team before enrollment.

The program includes three one-hour sessions: two before boarding and one approximately two weeks after the dog returns home. Muzzle-training instruction is included, but the required muzzle must be purchased separately and properly fitted. The dog must be muzzle-trained before boarding begins.

Aggression and other major behavioral concerns cannot be guaranteed to be completely resolved. Continued owner participation, management, and adherence to safety guidance remain essential. Review the Plans & Pricing page for current program information.
