About our Board and Train program

Our Board and Dog Training consists of a three week program and a more intensive five week program depending on the severity of the situation, and how much is needed. Whether your dog has behavioral issues, or you just don’t have the time, this program is right for you! Training will be labor intensive, 24 hours a day, with me in my home. Board and train programs are often recommended when a highly structured foundation is needed for the dog, and when you as the parent may need a foundation established to make training going forward easier. This type of training is also recommended for dogs that may have behavioral issues that may need more in-depth supervision of the trainer, 24/7.

Board and train programs are not “an easy fix,” but as stated above, a foundation for training going forward. I will help you establish the ground floor for commands and behaviors wanted so that you can continue.

Where will training take place?

Unlike other trainers, all of our board and trains will primarily take place in the home of the dog trainer. We do this because your home is where the majority of your issues are! Many people see little effectiveness when other trainers utilize boarding facilities due to it being an extremely controlled environment. To ensure effectiveness of our board and train program, we will also take your dog to various locations around Rochester to test your dogs reliability with each command in each location. Locations include parks, pet stores, veterinary waiting rooms, city side walks / busy public places, etc.
