Is your dog jumping, mouthing, pulling, chewing, house-soiling, guarding the food bowl, or otherwise making your busy life more difficult? Is your puppy driving you nuts?  Does your dog need training? I can help ! tug

Based on your goals and needs, I develop a customized training plan, which will be implemented during your dog's stay with me.  Afterward, I will come to your house to follow up and make sure that the new behaviors stick once the dog returns home to you.

I use positive reinforcement, reward-based training methods, and although your dog will learn a lot while staying here, it will feel more like summer camp than boot camp!

Below is a snapshot of what a typical day looks like for a Board & Train doggy guest (although depending on training goals and exercise needs, schedule will be adjusted for each dog).  The general idea is to incorporate your dog into the household routines, while conducting numerous small training sessions throughout each day and making good manners a part of everyday life.
