The perfect combination program for owners who are wanting to get their puppy started right away with in home lessons, but also want to invest in the long term success of their dog through a board and train. our hybrid puppy training package starts with 5 in home lessons, then transitions into a 3 week intensive board and train at 6 months of age. get the best of both worlds, while taking advantage of discounted pricing.

This is our most popular program for puppies as it allows you to get started with training right away. Puppies are continuously growing, physically and mentally, which means their needs and requirements are ever changing. Setting a solid foundation from the very beginning is crucial for long term success. 

We will start with sending you access to our online learning portal for you to start your owner education immediately. Your 5 pre-Board & Train Lessons can be scheduled as soon as you bring your puppy home so that you can master the basics of puppy ownership at home with the coaching of a professional trainer. 

These lessons are designed to focus on the most imperative aspects of raising a puppy. Our focus will mostly be on:

Crate Training
Potty Training
Spacial Management
Addressing problem puppy behaviors such as nipping, jumping and unwanted chewing
Confidence Building
Socialization / Exposure
Interactive Play Basics
Handling Drills for proper grooming and vet visits

Additionally, we will teach foundational learning concepts such as:

Clicker training
Shaping behaviors
Food luring

Intro to obedience (such as sit, down, loose leash walking, recall)

Engagement
Coming when called
Conditioned relaxation
Impulse control 

At 6 months of age and after your 5 lessons are complete, your puppy will transition into a 3 week On and Off Leash Board & Train. Our Advanced On & Off Leash Obedience Board & Train is our most comprehensive program designed to give you On and Off Leash Obedience in just 3 weeks. This immersive program is designed for the Owner who wants fast, reliable results, without having to implement the initial training themselves.

Your pup will reside in your designated trainer’s home and be treated as one of our own. Training will take place in the home, as well as field trips to ensure reliability in a variety of settings (hikes, stores, patio visits, nature trails). We don’t have some huge facility, which means your pup gets personalized attention and a custom training plan catered to their specific needs.

Your professional trainer will teach your dog basic and advanced obedience, both on and off leash (ecollar included). Your trainer will also place a high emphasis on life skills that your dog will need, both while in obedience behaviors, as well as their time outside of it.  Skills like increased impulse control, conditioned relaxation, decompression, confidence building and more are wildly underutilized by most training companies. These are equally, if not more, important to teach as obedience behaviors.  Your trainer will also engage in interactive play with your dog, engagement, calm leash manners, calm indoor manners, and stopping minor unwanted behaviors.

While initial training is hands-off for you, maintaining the results won’t be, which is why your trainer will teach you everything you need to know to maintain your dog’s newfound set of skills.

We pride ourselves on client education, so even though we will be doing the training for you, you will get plenty of educational opportunities during your dog’s training as well as after they come home.

We start your learning process by giving you lifelong access to our Virtual Learning Portal, filled with pre-recorded videos and PDFs covering a wide array of topics to address your needs.  Additionally, your trainer will provide you with personalized video updates of your dog with your trainer explaining the process so you can follow along the journey.  At the end of the program, you will have very extensive Go-Home Lesson with your trainer explaining the process and then coaching you through handling your dog – this is both educational, as well as a skills assessment to ensure you can demonstrate handling your dog through everything they have learned during training. 

But the training doesn’t stop there…

Once your dog’s Board & Train is complete and you have taken your dog home, we also include Complimentary Follow-Up Lessons for the life of your dog, so that you don’t have to invest in additional training at a later date.  We understand that everyone learns at a different pace and some need more continued support than others, which is why we will support YOUR growth as your dog’s handler, just as much as we guarantee the quality training your dog has been provided while they are with us. 

 Other perks to our immersive Board & Train programs include access to Vacation Boarding, Refresh (Group) Classes and Pack Walks for continuing education and support. 

Your trainer will have a planned curriculum of behaviors / life skills / communication system that we believe every dog should know, however if you have specific requests, please let us know – this program is highly customizable, based on your dog’s individual needs.
