Companion Dog B&T Program

The Companion Dog Board And Train Program fully immerses your canine companion into a positive home environment! Their time will be well-spent learning to follow general household rules, practicing household manners, and working on obedience skills. They will also begin developing behavioral skills and social skills that will benefit them now and for many years to come!

During their stay you can follow your companion's progress, learn about their new skills, and discuss their progress with their Private Instructor online! You will also be able to sit in on their last Training Session and see a personal demonstration of their new skills. When you take them home, you will also be taking home a "Doggie Bag" full of EVERYTHING you need to keep their new skills sharp!

During Their Stay

Our goal is for your canine companion to learn everything they need in order to be a wonderful addition to your home. During their stay they will live and learn in a positive environment that teaches through praise, reward, redirection, and individualized training. You will receive daily updates as we work with your companion on their skills. In addition to practicing appropriate household behaviors, their Instructor can work on any small behavioral issues.​
Includes:
  • Training "Vacation" On A 5-Acre Country Homestead
  • Full Immersion Into A Positive Training Atmosphere
  • Multiple Private Training Sessions With Our Lead Instructor Each Day
  • Multiple Active Play and Down Time Activities Practiced Daily
  • Daily Progress Updates
  • Private Progress Demonstration During Program Graduation
  • ​Equipment "Doggie Bag" Gifted To Each Program Graduate
  • Certificate of Completion upon passing the final assessment
  • 2 Private Sessions with our Lead Instructor​
  • ​(Optional) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test - A voucher is offered if your dog is too young to test​.

Stay Informed

Find out all about your canine's daily activities on your Private Online Communication Station (PCOS). You can access your station from your phone or computer to see daily updates, find written instructions and how-to videos on the skills that your companion is learning, and be able to communicate directly with their Personal Instructor!
  • Convenient - Receive Daily Updates, View Training Materials, and communicate with the Private Instructor all in one place!
  • Private - Access is restricted. Each of our clients receives their own private station.
  • Informative - Find out more about the skills your pup is learning through written instructions and videos!
  • Communicate - Ask your Private Instructor questions, request information, or comment on the daily updates!

The Famous "Doggie Bag!"

Your canine companion will encounter all sorts of new items during their training sessions! Your companion will also interact with new items as they learn new games and activities. Each of the items your canine interacts with is geared towards helping them learn new skills and keeping those new skills sharp!

At the end of their stay, we send your companion home with all of their favorite Training, Active Play, and Down Time Activity Items!
No two Doggie Bags are ever quite alike, but these are a few items that you may find!

Training Equipment
Kennel or Raised Bed
Training Collar or Harness
Leather Leash or Long Lead

Active Play
Orange Cones
Flirt Pole
Activity Cups

Down Time Activities
Kong
Puzzle Toys
Maze Bowl

Going Home - The Last Session

During their stay, your canine companion works with their Private Instructor several times a day. On the day they go home, you'll get to see first-hand what your companion has accomplished!

The Last Session allows your canine companion to show off all of their new skills! After your companion finishes their demonstration, you'll have the opportunity to practice each new skill with them too! Your Private Instructor will provide assistance if necessary, answer any questions you may have, and provide you with a Doggie Bag full of useful items to bring home!
