This program is perfect for those that work from home with a new puppy (6 months or older) or those with a busy schedule unable to find time to book a trainer for private lessons. You will drop your dog off at my house, not a facility. I only take 1 board and train at a time, allowing for the dog to be free all day in between training sessions working on house manners. This will make the transition after training back to you better than any trainer in the area. I am the sole trainer doing it this way in all of Canada that I know of, guaranteed in the Waterloo Region. So no need to worry about having your dog crated all day, they will be free enjoying life with my dog Bruce or managed in a separate part of the house if needed but still free. During the stay, your dog will get full off leash obedience including recall, drop it, leave it, sit and any other command you want, trained thru play followed by multiple private lessons included in the board and train. I need to make sure the dog transitions well to you, and you understand how to implement all the training I provided. 3 private lessons are included in the price of the board and train. Board and train is best for behavior cases that are extreme and where I think it would be beneficial for me to take the dog away from the owner to establish proper habits first.
