Board & Trains have become more and more common in recent years as a method of training our dogs, and they have become much more embraced by the positive reinforcement/force free community as well! This type of training service used to be pretty demonized by our corner of the training world, but these days its one of our favorite ways to work with dogs.
Getting to have that focused, one on one time with our client pups is an incredible way to get to know them really well and really be able to help owners approach their problem behaviors with more speed and accuracy then private lessons alone. Of course, there will always be training to do when your pup gets home as well, but we make sure to build support services into our Board & Train programs so that the transition is as smooth as possible.
Because we do our Board & Trains in our homes we are able to really replicate the realistic learning environment of being home, with the added bonus of starting to generalize the skills we are teaching right away. It's also a great way for our dogs to get the social exposure of a home with new dogs, new people, new sights and sounds and, depending on which trainer your pup stays with, a cat! It doesn't hurt either that it gives us extra pups to cuddle in our own homes!
