A properly trained dog eagerly seeks out their human to perform their obedience behaviors for them. Have you seen a dog hold eye contact with their person and follow them around without being asked? This unrequested attention is called engagement, and it is the building blocks of our dog training methodology.

Training a dog in drive keeps them eager and excited to be obedient. We take each dog’s genetics into account, using their natural drive in their obedience training. Channeling their drive creates behaviors that are reliable and repetitive.

Throughout the board and train your dog will live with one of our professional dog trainers in their private home, and go throughout the city to practice around distractions. There is both targeted training time and free time. Being in a home environment allows the trainer to work with your dog on their obedience commands and overall manners throughout the day, such as grabbing items on the counter and jumping on guests.

• The dogs that come to our board and train program are trained in drive, making them eager and excited to be obedient. We don’t diminish a dog’s drive, instead we channel their drive into their obedience. This creates an exciting learning environment and explosive performance of their obedience behaviors, while maintaining their unique personality.
• The board and train includes continued education via private lessons, at no additional cost. We understand that your dog is an evolving animal. We are here for you whenever it is needed.
