We Train Your Dog for You!!!
Call (559) 817-9283 for more
information
Many dog owners have seen how well trained
our dogs are and have asked us about taking their dogs home for
training. Due to the overwhelming interest shown in our hard work
with our own dogs, we have decided to open our home for dogs to come to
for a boot camp style training. We DO NOT use any harsh methods.
Instead, we base our program in positive reinforcement techniques
for all dogs. Our boot camp program requires dogs to work for
every
thing they want. They have to earn their food, their toys, and
especially their play time. Even their walks are working activities
that just happens to double as exercise. The goal is for humans to
be in control of all resources so that the dog looks to us for
guidance and direction as to what is expected of them. When humans
control these items we are now able to motivate a dog to work for us
instead of just doing what they please.
Dogs are worked in an array of
situations including feeding times, going for walks, and door ways
just to name a few. Dogs are socialized to people (including
children), dogs, and small animals. Dogs are also introduced to some
agility equipment during their stay with us to provide a job for
them that is as much fun as it is work.
(Agility introduction does not apply to dogs who may have a health
concern.)
Leaving home can be a stressful
situation for any dog. To ease the transition from your home to
ours, we require every dog that comes to us for a Board and Train
program to bring their own crate, food bowls, bed/towel from home,
toys, and a full (unopened) bag of food. Amount of food provided is
to last them the amount of time they are expected to be with us. If
we have to buy food for them you will be charged for the bag of food
including sales tax plus a $10.00 travel surcharge.
Most cases are with us for 2 - 4
weeks. Dogs are worked 6 - 8 hours each day of their stay. The
program package includes the time spent with us as well as an
appointment to go over expectations and the individual training
program to be sure we are all on the same page. It also includes a
training appointment upon completion of the program to go over what
your dog has learned, commands & hand signals taught, as well as
exercises to practice to keep your dog at the top of his game.
Owners and their trainer are in constant communication for updates
on progress that is being made. Price is based on the amount of time
spent with us as well as how difficult of a case we are working
with.
Aggression, Dominance, and Separation Anxiety cases will be
recommended for a 4 week stay to resolve the problems and will
include an additional training appointment after the dog returns to
their home. Prices will be charged accordingly.

Typical
Board & Train Schedule
This is
just a rough idea of what your dog would be doing during their
stay with us. If you notice, there is an emphasis on exercise.
This may be a walk or a play session. By giving an outlet for
their energy, we put them into a more balanced state allowing
them to be more accepting of the information we are providing to
them.

Please note that this is just an
example of a schedule we follow. While it will be similar, your
dog's schedule may vary from this example. |
Due to the intense amount of time
dedicated towards each dog, we limit ourselves to 1 client at a time.
We only offer 1-2 Board & Train Sessions each month.
We do schedule Board & Train clients up to 6 months in advance with a
paid deposit.
