Board and Train Packages

All of my board and trains are billed weekly to help spread out the cost of training. A dog training form and a copy of your dog's rabies certificate are required for all board and trains. A go home lesson is included in all board and train packages. They will also get a goodie bag to take home. Please review the policies and requirements page on my website.

Socialization and Confidence Building

$600 Per Week

Designed for puppies or dogs that need some help seeing the world in a positive light.

This program can be done as partial weeks, a full week, or as long as you would like to help your dog gain some positive experiences with the world. A week minimum is generally recommended.

Topics We Can Cover:

Gaining positive experiences in real world settings;
Exposure to different environments, surfaces, and things

This is a wonderful program to get your puppy or dog off to a great start, especially if they are a bit unsure of the world. I will take your dog places and help them work though fear, excitement, or other feelings in a positive way. I will also help them experience new textures, sounds, and anything else you may think would help in your day to day lives. Proper socialization is a key foundation aspect for any dog, even if you don't plan on doing a ton of additional obedience type of training with them. It allows them to learn how to process emotions and gain positive associations with real world scenarios that they may encounter.

Manners Boot Camp

$600 Per Week

Designed for dogs that may be "a bit much" and need some extra help with manners in the home

This program can be done as partial weeks, a full week, or as long as you would like to help your dog gain some positive experiences with the world. A week minimum is generally recommended.

Topics We Can Cover:

Nuisance behaviors (jumping, barking, etc.);
Loose Leash Walking;
Crate Training;
Counter Surfing/Stealing Inappropriate Items

This program is a wonderful way to help you work though some annoying behaviors that you may encounter in your home with your dog. This can be anything you may need help with in your home like jumping on Grandma or dragging you down the block on a walk. Whatever specific issues you may need help with, this program focuses on creating a positive home-life with your dog so that they are easier to live with. This is a wonderful way to get started on some manners for a puppy or for an older dog that may just need some help in this area.

Rescue Organization Only

$315 per week (Open-Ended)

Designed for those harder to adopt dogs that could use some training. This focuses on make a dog adoptable, versus formal obedience sessions

This program is for 501(c) accredited rescue organizations only. I greatly enjoy behavior modification and understanding how a dog operates over a period of time. This is not a fast-paced training program and I will work with the dog's issues in front of me, whatever that might be. There is no "quick fix" in training, but it is worth giving these dogs a chance that might otherwise be deemed unadoptable or wait years and years for their forever home that may never come.

Topics We Can Cover:

House Manners and learning to be a house dog;
Potty training and acclimating to a routine;
Confidence building and exploring the world;
Loose leash walking, recalls, sit, and down
Waiting patiently for food, greeting strangers, and being a model, well-rounded citizen

I entered the rescue training world when I was contacted by a wonderful rescue needing my help. This then lead to another rescue and then yet another, where I now work with 3 different rescues at this time. This made me realize my services are much needed an it truly makes a big difference for each of the dogs under my care in finding a forever home.

This program focuses on being able to live with the dog or to work on any overly apparent issue first to help make them adoptable. Then we will work on the obedience as we can to polish it up. Some dogs will learn more skills than others and some (hopefully) will not learn much at all because they are adopted sooner than others. The amount of training on a dog can vary greatly, but I will always be upfront and honest about any issues, their history if I know it, and anything I feel is noteworthy before you would consider fostering or adopting one of my foster dogs.

If you are a member of a rescue organization, feel free to reach out to me to see if a working relationship would be a good fit for us both. I am limited to 4 fosters at a time and my spaces are usually filled, but I do have the option of a waitlist.
