Details:
This is a 'Board and Train' program. Usually over a two-week period, your dog will stay with me and my family. During that time your dog will have 24 hour structure that includes formal obedience sessions, structured walks, supervised play, field trips, and learn to live in a well behaved way. Even when resting, they will learn to do so without whining, and in the spot I designate. Your dog will learn to understand what we expect of it and the lines of communication will be opened. Your dog will understand the 'language' of the training tools, including a remote e-collar and prong collar (included in the program). This period of time develops a routine that the dogs get used to and therefore transfers back to you and your household more easily than would a series of classes spread out over months.
You will need to learn a lot as well, that is why we will have a 2-hour session upon the end of your dog's stay with us. I will explain the training, answer your questions, and work you through hands-on exercises. 2-4 weeks later, a one hour follow-up home visit is included to cover any further questions and concerns that may have arisen. You will also have support via email, phone, text, Skype for six months.
My goal is for your success with your dog.
Typically this is a 2 week program, however, some behaviors will require three weeks or more, such as aggression, fear, and seperation anxiety.
