Premier Obedience Board and Train
Investment: $3200
Commands: Come (recall), Sit+stay, Down+stay, Heel, Place (in-home behavior management), Kennel on command, Thresholds
Behavior Modification: Yes
Duration 3-4 Weeks
Includes: 2 private lessons
This program is a comprehensive obedience board and train program where I train all the standard obedience commands then challenge your dog with real world distractions. This is the only program that offers the heeling behavior (no pulling on leash). Eliminating or reducing other significant issues such as leash reactive behavior require an additional fee and may require more time. Nearly all programs are completed within 3 weeks but we allow for the occasional dog that might need a bit more time (at no additional charge).

Specialized Training Programs
These customized programs are the best option for more advanced behaviors, from puppies to adults. More time developing habitual responses and practicing behaviors under professional guidance makes a big difference! For dogs where a higher level obedience is sought (off-leash heeling, focused heeling, complete verbal discrimination, silent commands (vibrate/tone through e-collar, remedial public access obedience for service dogs, etc) customized training of behaviors (directed retrieves, task work, scent imprinting, search patterning, tracking, etc) where possible. This program is completely customizable.
We do not train personal pets for service dog work. If you have a professionally trained service dog that needs remedial training, a tune up, or additional task work added, we will be happy to set up a consultation to discuss your goals. Service dog training is a significant investment in both time and money. Typically, a fully trained service dog costs range from $20-$30k, depending on the training required.
Who should consider this program?
Owners whose dogs are struggling with serious behavioral problems (I am not currently taking human aggression cases), or owners wanting customized trained behaviors, high level functional or competitive obedience foundations, service and/or therapy dog training on appropriate candidates.
