Understanding Our Program
The Foundation: 10-Day Board & Train Program
This short-term, immersive stay is designed to introduce your dog to foundational life skills while building the confidence and habits needed for a well-rounded companion. It is the perfect choice for owners looking for meaningful progress and a professional head start on structured training.
Over the course of 10 days, we focus on impulse control and core obedience, ensuring your dog learns to listen even when the world around them gets exciting.
What Your Dog Will Learn:
Core Obedience – Establishing a strong foundation in "Sit," "Down," and "Stay."
Impulse Control – Learning to remain calm and polite in high-energy situations.
On & Off-Leash Reliability – Developing the responsiveness needed for outdoor freedom.
Foundational Life Skills – Building the habits that lead to a polite, manageable home life.
Distraction Training – Practicing commands in real-world settings to ensure they "stick."
Program Highlights:
Real-World Focus: Training is conducted around distractions to ensure skills translate to the beach, hiking trails, and parks.
Off-Leash Foundations: We begin developing the reliable communication needed for safe, enjoyable off-leash adventures.
Confidence Building: Structured exercises designed to help your dog feel secure and responsive in new environments.
