General Evaluation

This evaluation involves an interactive discussion to assess your dog's current behavior, any specific challenges you are facing, and the objectives you hope to achieve through training. By observing your dog's demeanor and behavior during this session, we can gain valuable insights into their temperament and abilities, allowing us to recommend a personalized training program. Whether your dog needs basic obedience training, behavioral modification, or specialized skills, this evaluation sets the foundation for a successful training journey. During this initial consultation, our experienced dog trainers can meet with you and your dog at our facility or at your home if you live within our training area, as defined under Private Training.

Our team will thoroughly assess your dog on various aspects, including behavior, temperament, responsiveness to commands, and social interactions. This evaluation serves as a crucial step to ensure that our board and train program aligns with your dog's needs and your training expectations. Additionally, it allows us to determine if the program is a suitable fit for your dog's behavior and learning capabilities.Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized attention and guidance to help you make an informed decision about the most suitable training program for your dog. As this evaluation is booked separately from the General Evaluation, interested individuals are encouraged to fill out a Contact Form on our website to schedule this service.

traditional board & train

In our traditional board and train we focus on resolving common dog issues. We require a minimum of 3 weeks for a board and train for dogs 6+ months old. During the board and train your dog will learn to sit, down, stay, come reliably off leash with a remote collar, walk on a loose leash past distractions, not to jump, bark or mouth, drop, leave it, go place for 1+ hours, proper socialization with other dogs and people, as well as overall better impulse control and listening skills. Upon drop off we do an hour to two transition lesson where everyone in the family performs the same commands with their dog that we do. Also included is an hour long follow up lesson around a week later to make sure the training sticks. A remote collar is included in the board and train cost and will be given to you at drop off. Additional tools are not included in the cost. An evaluation is required prior to the board and train if we have never met your dog.
