We understand that not everyone has the time or desire to train their dog. Although our board and train programs allow dogs to be well trained in a relatively short period of time, owners are still involved in the process by having several handoff lessons during and after the program ends .
Below are the outlined skills we will teach your dog. We can customize a package based on your dogs temperament and the desired skills. Our Board and train prices start at $750/week . If you are local, we suggest a consult with us which will help you decide how much time your dog will need . This first visit is $125 and is deducted from your package
Performance Dog Training: We can custom a package for anyone who wants to get their dog started in IPO style obedience or tracking. Please contact us for more information!
