2 Week Board and Train (6+ Months of Age)

2 Week Board and Train (6+ Months of Age)

2 Week Board and Train (6+ Months of Age)

Do you have a dog that needs some obedience and manners?  But you don't have the time or energy to devote hours of training every day to your dog plus the time needed to figure out how to do it properly?


Let me do the training for you.


This training package is for dogs who need basic obedience and do not have any severe behavioral issues like extreme anxiety, fear, phobias, reactivity, resource guarding, or aggression.


Perhaps your dog just pulls on the leash a lot, gets really excited when guests come over, and will jump on them, barks a lot, chew things, counter surfs, has "selective hearing" and other nuisance behaviors.


During the 2 weeks that your dog is with me at my home they'll learn:


  • Crate manners (no more barking, whining, or rushing to get out)
  • Food manners (teaching your dog to be polite and wait for their food)
  • Door manners (no more escaping or rushing out the front door)
  • Sit and autosit
  • Down and down/stay
  • Climb and duration climb (perfect for when guests come over, while cooking and to teach your dog how to have an "off" switch and be calm)
  • Structured walking (aka: "Heel")
  • Short distance recall (aka: "Come")
  • Go potty on command
  • Focus, attention, and engagement
  • Remove problem behaviors (trash diving, poop eating, counter surfing, digging, chewing, demand barking, etc)


This program comes with a 2-3 hour hands-on go-home lesson at the end of your dog's stay with me.

During this lesson, you'll learn everything you need to know to maintain and further improve your dog's foundation of training they learned with me.

You'll go home with a packet of information, worksheets, and more. All training equipment is included in this package if your dog requires training equipment.


2 Week Board and Train Price: $2,500

(50% deposit required at booking. Remainder due on pick up)

Do you have a dog that needs some obedience and manners but also has some behavioral issues like reactivity, anxiety, and fear?

Perhaps you want a dog with "off-leash" obedience? 


Let me do the training for you.


This training package is for dogs who need basic obedience and have behavioral issues or for dogs with no behavioral issues but you want off-leash obedience.


Perhaps your dog will lunge and bark at other dogs when they see them, maybe they have separation anxiety and will bark non-stop, or maybe your dog has an extreme fear of loud noises or other stimuli.


During the 3 weeks that your dog is with me at my home they'll learn everything in the 2 week Board and Train 

Additionally:

  • Counter conditioning to minimize reactivity to triggers
  • Desensitization protocols to minimize the intensity of emotional response to triggers
  • Confidence building 
  • Higher level of reliable obedience in commands
  • If training for off-leash obedience, conditioning to the ecollar and increased proofing in recall plus longer distance


This program comes with a 2-3 hour hands-on go-home lesson at the end of your dog's stay with me. 


During this lesson, you'll learn everything you need to know to maintain and further improve your dog's foundation of training they learned with me. 


You'll go home with a packet of information, worksheets, and more. All training equipment is included in this package if your dog requires training equipment.


(*note: depending on the severity of the dog's behavioral issus, additional time may be required. However, the price will be $420 for an additional week vs $1,000 for an additional week)


3 Week Board and Train Price: $3,500

Virtual Mentorship

Create Your Own Mentorship Program

Leaving the corporate workforce and creating my own company was one of the most frightening, challenging, confusing but rewarding and fulling things I've ever done with my life.


It's allowed me to combine my passion and purpose with my career. Owning my own dog training business has taught me more than anything else and has opened countless doors, opportunities and led me to friends who became family.


However, I wish that there was a program that could have taught me everything I needed to know when I started my own business. 


There were so many questions I didn't know the answers to:


  • How do you start an LLC? Do I need one before I start training dogs?
  • What is an EIN?
  • What should contracts include? Do I need a lawyer?
  • How do I conduct sales calls?
  • Who is the best payment processor?
  • Do I need to do virtual training?
  • What insurance do I need? Do I need it even if I do not have consistent clients?
  • How do I price my services?
  • Should I pay someone to build my website?
  • How do I grow my social media following?
  • What's the best way to keep organized?


Not only did those questions need answering but I needed more feedback and eyes on my hands-on work with dogs with another professional just one-on-one, especially in a home board and train style.


One of my long-time goals, since I started my own company, was to open a program geared towards aspiring dog trainers. 


This program is 100% customizable to fit your needs, wants, and goals.

 

Perhaps you know how to train dogs but you don't know the business side and need help.

Maybe you need both.


Whatever the case may be, this virtual mentorship program is the solution you've been searching for.
