Also called In Kennel Training (IKT), Doggie Boot Camp, or Stay and Train, the Board and Train package is our most popular program. First we'll meet with you to find out what your dog training goals are. Then, once we'll customize a training regimen for you and your dog.

Here's the typical routine for the In Kennel Training program:

1. Initial Dog Training Evaluation/Consultation
   This is where we diagnose the problem wherever it is occurring. The start date for the IKT is decided upon.
2. Initial private lesson
   This lesson is conducted on a case by case basis.  Dog Psychology 101 is taught at this point. We are educators by trade, and want to ensure when we are done that you are confident and prepared.
3. Board and Train | In Kennel Training:  3 Phases
   The board and train program is 14 days long minimum. Once your dog is at our facility we begin training with 3 different phases.
   • Introduction/ Trust Building Phase (1-2 Days)- Before we begin intensive training with your dog, we always take a moment for your them to become comfortable with us.
   • Teaching phase (5-8 Days)- This is the longest of the phases and the most important. We first test your dogs skill level in various areas and then work on anything that requires additional attention.
   • Enforcement Phase (4-6 Days)- Once your dog has learned the exercises we begin enforcing the commands to ensure reliability for you.
4. The Turnover Process (3 Lessons Included):
   
   
   Included in the price of the board and train (IKT) is one group lesson for the owners of the dogs in the board and train program, and two private lessons that we conduct with you prior to taking your dog home. Rather than just returning your dog to you, we transfer leadership back to you, and teach you at the same time. Typically, these private lessons are conducted within the last 3 days of your dog's stay with us.  The group class is conducted on the first Saturday during the training.  If you're out of town, or can't make the group class for whatever reason, you'll be invited to attend class with the next group of owners.
5. Follow Up Phase:
   Even after you take your dog back home with you, we continue to partner with you to ensure that you're still progressing.  We will continue to make ourselves available to you through email or phone calls to ensure your complete satisfaction at no additional charge.  In addtion, follow up private lessons or group classes make a great compliment to this program.
