For dogs 4 months and older
Your dog will live with us in our home for 3 weeks and be trained in the fundamentals of obedience, commands, manners, and most importantly general good behavior. At the end of the 3 weeks, we'll do two private lessons with you, to ensure that you know the how's and what's your dog has learned, control problem behaviors, and be an effective leader.
HomeStay Training is where we work on helping dogs to be calm and obedient in many areas such as, but not limited to: kitchens, dens, bedrooms and areas where multiple guests visit. They go on a number of walks a day and spend time inside with us so they can learn house manners such as not taking food off the counters, busting through doors, charging up stairs or jumping at hands or legs. They become a part of our pack and learn to act accordingly. We train through consistency, trust, communication, repetition, timing and respect.
Dogs are kept inside the home and become a part of the family. Since the dog is in a home environment, we can work on basic in-house manners such as counter surfing, obedience training, behavior modification and building a foundation for house breaking. A plus for the dogs in our dog training school is daily walks, playtime in a securely fenced yard, and specialized one-on-one attention with the trainer. It will be a home away from home for your dog. As part of the dog behavior training, they will also get to socialize with other dogs.
Additionally, a "Go Home" session will be given. The session will review the commands you received while your dog was with us, to ensure you have learned and understand them, and how to reinforce them once your dog is back home. After the dog goes home and you have had a week to work on transferring leadership to you and acquaint yourself to the training and methodology, we will begin the first of two compulsory lessons and go over any behavior or training issues. Your job is to maintain the work we started for you and that's why you need training too. Any training program is only as good as the owner follow-through. Training can begin here, but absolutely needs to be continued and implemented at home with dog and owner.
You'll get all the instruction you need to maintain your dog's training for life! This isn't a "last resort." It is a comprehensive training program in which your dog is trained quickly and effectively all day every day by professionals. You won't feel overwhelmed when your dog comes over. You just need to continue the training and maintain what your dog has learned.
