Dog Behaviors Addressed in the Boarding Program

We focus on transforming your dog’s overall behavior by addressing common issues like:

Real-World Socialization

Real-world socialization is a vital aspect of our training approach, and we place great emphasis on exposing your dog to a variety of environments, people, and other animals. This exposure helps your dog build confidence and reduces anxiety in unfamiliar situations, which is crucial for well-adjusted behavior.

Impulse Control

Impulse control  are essential skills that we actively develop in our Board and Train program. Many dogs struggle with impulse control, often acting out of excitement or anxiety. Through targeted training exercises, your dog will learn to pause and think before acting, which is especially beneficial in high-stimulation environments.

Crate Training and Housebreaking

Crate training and housebreaking are crucial components of our Board and Train program, laying the foundation for responsible pet ownership. Crate training helps your dog feel secure in their own space, reduces anxiety, and minimizes destructive behaviors when unsupervised.

Addressing Behavioral Problems

The Board and Train program is specifically designed to address a wide range of behavioral problems that can impact the quality of life for both dogs and their owners. We tackle issues such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, fear-based aggression, and excessive barking, using a balanced and compassionate training approach.
