FAQ

Common questions before the first call

A few quick answers about the board-and-train process, what dogs practice, and how families continue the structure at home.

What is included in the board and train program?

The two-week program includes daily hands-on training, structured socialization, crate and car loading practice, basic-to-advanced commands, and off-leash conditioning.

Will my dog forget the training after coming home?

Long-term success depends on owner consistency. You will receive clear guidance and a take-home structure plan so the training can continue at home.

Do you train dogs with behavior issues like reactivity?

Yes. Dogs with reactivity, anxiety, fear, or leash frustration are considered case by case during the consultation.

What commands do you teach?

Training can cover sit, down, place, heel, recall, distance down, crate or kennel, and more, often practiced in high-distraction or off-leash environments.

Where does my dog stay during training?

Dogs stay in a safe, structured, home-based environment rather than a kennel, which helps build comfort, trust, and consistency.
