Question 4

Help!!!  I don't think I can send my dog away to a Board & Train program because I am going to miss them to much.

Accepted Answer

We completely understand missing your dog while they are away which is why we give out updates every Tuesday. This update consists of a picture or video of your pup along with a progress report detailing what they have accomplished and what they are working on in training. Most of the time we are able to give out extra updates throughout the week and also post frequently on our social media pages. We promise you will still be involved every step of the way and they will be back home before you know it.

Question 5

Will my dog forget me or be sad if I send him/her to a Board & Train program?

Accepted Answer

No, they never forget their owners. Board and train programs are like going to summer camp for your pup. They are so busy learning, and being challenged in fun and exciting new environments that they don’t have time to be sad.

Do you train dogs with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes,  we have extensive experience training dogs with disabilities including blind and deaf dogs. This does not limit their ability to learn and we will work with you to develop the right training program to fit your needs.

Question 7

What will I do after training is done if I have a problem?

Accepted Answer

Our dogs are guaranteed for life as long as you the owner do everything in your power to maintain the training as set forth by your trainer.

Question 8

You trained the dog but now what?   How will I know what to do?

We pride ourselves on educating our clients to the point of making them self-sufficient once the program is complete.
