DISCLAIMERS: 

• Our experience shows that no matter how long a dog stays and trains with us, without the proper follow through by the pet parents there will be no measurable short-term or long-term results. This is why we choose to work exclusively with pet parents who are 100% committed to participating in the FREE follow-up private training sessions and unlimited email, phone, and text support for the lifetime of your pet.

• We cannot guarantee your dog will get trained if you withdraw your dog from our program early, before the program has expired.  

• To make sure you agree with our Terms & Conditions, please review  our Cancellation Policy and Refund Policy before you make the decision to board your dog with us! 

• We do not offer a 1 Week Board & Train Program, because most dogs will not realistically be fully trained in such a short amount of time. It usually takes at least a week (7 days) but depending on the issues we are addressing, it can take longer, for a puppy to become somewhat accustomed to transitioning to a new environment with different patterns: (rules, boundaries, limitations). It is recommended to take at least 3 months to transition adult dogs to a new home environment (dogs that are over 1.5 years old who come from a rescue or shelter environment).

• We only take bookings that are no less than 2 weeks in advance. No last minute bookings! We do not take any customer who wishes to book one week before the stay is to begin.  That is not enough time for us to devise a carefully thought out Training Program for your dog.  We work best with people that plan ahead and that trust in the process and our expertise.  

• We understand that sometimes life does not go the way we thought it would and you may have to withdraw your dog from our program. This is why we expect you to understand and agree to our Training Agreement before you book your stay, so you are fully committed and trust in us to train you and your dog to the best of our abilities, and you understand all the risks involved.

• Please see our Cancellation and Refund Policy before booking a Board & Train Stay. We enforce our policies, and expect you to understand and agree to them prior to a Board & Train Stay, when you sign & submit our online Training Agreement. 

Our #1 goal is to empower and educate you on knowing exactly what it takes to keep your dog's progress going.  We need 100% cooperation from pet parents in order for your dog to show progress.  Do not be afraid to speak up and ask questions. 

Trusting in our expertise is the 1st place we start.  If you have doubts about our credentials or background, we suggest you do your research ahead of time, so you can be prepared and have no doubt in your mind that we know what we are doing, or that we are who we say we are. 

We are the experts, and that is why people from all over the map come to us for training!  We are successful at what we do, only because our customers trust in our abilities and they see measurable results over and over again.  

We have repeat customers who trust us entirely, as evidenced by giving us home access to pick up and drop off their dog, or drop in on their cats, when they are not around, and trusting in our expertise to stay at their home to pet sit their dogs and cats when they are away.  

If you do not fully believe in us before a Board & Train stay, you may be better off going somewhere else. We understand our services are not for everyone.  

Alternatively, if you are up for the commitment, then our "Board and Train" program might be the right fit for you.

If you've already completed this step and reached out to a trainer, then the next step is to Book an Online Appointment for a Board & Train Initial Evaluation .  This step is required prior to you Booking a Board & Train stay.  We cannot stress enough, how important it is for you to trust in our expertise.  This appointment is the first step. It's an  "interview', where we get to know each other. It's the opportunity for us to ask questions, and for us to decide if we are best suited for your particular needs. 

We offer 2 different types of Reverse Board & Train programs: Day Only (Business Hours) or Day with Overnights (Vacation Option). In fact, you can be right there participating the entire time or you could not be there at all. It’s up to you!

 A Reverse Board & Train Program can take place when you are able to be home and partially available for training sessions.  Your dog will receive at least 2 hours of training per day, 5-7 days per week. 

NOTE: Each day will be broken up into short training sessions, to accommodate the needs of your dog.  Most dogs cannot pay much attention for more than 30 seconds if they have not been trained properly.  Giving your dog regular rest breaks allows it to reset, refresh, relax, and get replenished for the next training session. 

You may opt for a weekly training schedule that includes training with you over the weekend.  This program will allow your dog to partake in up to 2 hour daily sessions, 7 days per week.  

You can also opt for our WEEKENDS OFF program. Your dog can participate in our daily group activities and private 1:1 training 5 times per week, and skip training on the weekends.   Your dog will receive a minimum of 2 hours of continuous training per day.

BOARDING DOGS:

We board dogs off and on, a couple at a time.  Most of the dogs we board are current customers that have a training history with us.  The Boarding experience is similar to the Board & Train experience. However, your dog will not get one-on-one Private Training during their stay with us. They will get to participate in our daycare activities which is included with their stay. If you'd like more information about Boarding your dog overnight with us, please don't hesitate to call.  You can also check out our Pet Sitting Services, to help you understand the difference between "Board & Train" and simply overnight "Boarding".
