1-week Board and Train - Puppy

Service Description

Want your puppy started off the right way? This is the six week puppy program condensed into one short boarding period! An excellent boost to your young pup's schooling, their absorbent little brains will quickly form solid foundations for all of the skills they will need in the future! Best utilized during a puppy's critical socialization period between twelve weeks and five months, this course focuses on environmental exposure and core obedience commands, such as recall, sit/down positions, stay, hand targeting, and food luring. Potty training routines, crate manners, and play manners are also established, as well as an included in-depth evaluation of the puppy's developing social skills. All board and train programs include: Daily text updates on the dog's progress, and photos and videos of training lessons when possible. Every step of the training process is documented and thoroughly explained, so dog owners are not left in the dark! An extensive PDF document explaining the commands the dog learned, the training methods used, and appropriate use of tools and skills is emailed to the dog's owner upon completion of the boarding program. This document also provides my own behavioral evaluation of the dog and any specific information pertaining to the dog's progress and future goals. Owners may request to be present during training outings while the dog is in the program. All board and train programs end with a "go home session" that may last between one and two hours, as well as a one hour follow-up lesson to be used at any time.
