Frequently Asked Questions

  • The main difference lies in the focus and duration. The 3-Week is designed for general obedience and building a strong foundation of good manners. The 4-Week is tailored for dogs with more complex behavioral issues, such as aggression or anxiety, and provides an extended period of training to address these challenges thoroughly.

  • Absolutely! Dogs have strong bonds with their owners, and a temporary stay with us won’t affect that. In fact, our training is designed to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. When your dog returns home, they’ll be excited to see you and ready to show off their new skills.

  • We recommend limiting visits during the Board & Train program to allow your dog to fully focus on their training. However, we’ll keep you updated with regular progress reports, videos, and photos so you can see how well your dog is doing. You’ll also have several one-on-one sessions at the end of the program to go over everything your dog has learned.

  • We use a balanced approach that incorporates a variety of training methods tailored to each dog’s unique needs. This may include positive reinforcement, structured routines, and the use of humane training tools like prong collars and e-collars. Our goal is to use the most effective and least intrusive methods to achieve lasting results.

  • We are committed to your dog’s success and provide ongoing support even after the training program is completed. If you’re not seeing the results you expected, we offer follow-up sessions and unlimited access to our trainers to address any concerns and help reinforce the training at home. Your satisfaction and your dog’s progress are our top priorities.
