Services and Pricing

Board and Trains

Board and train is where your pup stays with me for 1-6+ weeks straight, the longer they stay the more they learn, socialize, and have stronger foundations. This is my full time job so I am with the dogs 24/7 training, playing, and socializing. If I am not with the dog they are secured and safe in a crate. You are welcome to tour the dog room/house. Cameras are also on the property for safety. Flight risk dogs will have trackers on during their stay. This is great for those with a busy schedule and dogs that need constancy, also can double as a weight-loss program. Photo/video updates are provided everyday so you can keep up with the progress!

Private training sessions, ecollar, and gift bag included. Behavior modification may cost a little more. Dog must be crate trained prior to drop off! $300 deposit required to secure your slot, only 2 slots available per month.

Please note that training needs to be maintained for the rest of a dogs life, board and trains are to set your dog up for success with strong foundations and give you the proper tools and handling skills.

Day Trains

Day Train is where for a set amount of days I pick up your pup for half the day (2-6 hours). During that time we will train, play, and properly socialize to many things and go to many fun locations like different stores, parks, malls, beaches, and more. This is great for those who are worried about leaving their dog home while they are at work and want training. The idea of the day train is to provide consistency to set good foundations with the dog, proper socialization, and helping dogs be more confident and exposed to new things overall. Flight risk dogs will also wear trackers as a safety precaution. Photo/video updates are provided everyday so you can keep up with the progress!

Doggy School Bus

 

The Doggy School Bus is where I pick up a group of dogs for 4-5 hours, it is very similar to a day train but intended more for maintenance training and weekly socialization with their pack. During this time we go to parks, Home Depot, the mall, the beach, hikes, and other fun places to keep on up training, proper pack communication, and socializing to all sorts of environments. Photos and videos provided of the fun days.

(Only avaliable for dogs who have gone through full training programs and are already trained)

$50 per dog

The Importance of Proper Socialization
Socialization can mean so things depending on who you ask. To me, socialization means proper exposure to new smells, animals, environments, textures, sounds, and many other things. Rather than just flooding the dog and making them shut down, I like to use positive reinforcement to encourage dogs to be more confident and comfortable getting outside of their shell. Socialization increases your dogs confidence by showing them that they can get through and over scary overwhelming things, this can also help teach them how to react in uncomfortable situations. This is very important to help prevent your dog from being very fearful which can lead to reactivity, fear aggression and other issues. It's also important to remember that it's not all in how you raise them and genetics matter, not every dog is confident and not every dog will want to be around others but neutrality is the goal. 

Proper dog on dog socialization is also extremely important in helping dogs understand pack dynamics and other social behaviors. A lot of dogs really benefit off of interacting and playing with one another.  You don't just throw dogs together and let them figure it out, I always make sure to closely monitor body language to make sure everyone is comfortable. 1 bad experience can really ruin some dogs so it's important to always watch what dogs your letting your interact with yours. Dog parks are very dangerous for this reason. You want your dog to associate being with others as a positive thing, not an overwhelming experience when they fear for their safety.
