Learning to focus with distractions is a big part of your dog’s success. That’s why we take our training outside the classroom and into the real world! During their board and train, your dog will go on field trips to parks, stores, and other public places, where they’ll practice their skills around people, other dogs, kids, cyclists, and even cars. It’s a fun and exciting way to ensure your dog can handle real-life distractions while staying focused and obedient. This real-world experience sets us apart from other programs that rely solely on controlled environments.
