Board & Train
I specialize in board and train programs in my home. During the training course your dog lives in an environment similar to their own. This grants a rare chance to know your dog very well, mimicking their normal behaviors, good and bad. In my home they become apart of the family, this opens a window into understanding and observing specific issues that arise - barking at the mailman, impolite greetings with guests, stealing food from the countertop, pulling on walks around your neighborhood, scratching at the back door, whining in a crate, demand barking, jumping when you come home from work, etc. All the things they do with you everyday! I can help train and then coach you to create a more enjoyable environment for both you and your pet.
