Board And Train

Here are some common questions and answers regarding canine board and train programs:

What is a board and train program?
A board and train program involves sending your dog to a training facility where they stay for a specified period to receive professional training. The trainers work with the dog daily to teach obedience, socialization, and behavioral modification.
How long does a board and train program typically last?
Programs can vary in length, typically ranging from two weeks to several months, depending on the dog's
needs and the specific training goals.
What types of training are offered in board and train programs?
Common training focuses include basic obedience, advanced commands, behavior modification (e.g., aggression, anxiety), and specialized training (e.g., service dog training).
Is board and train suitable for all dogs?
Most dogs can benefit from board and train, but it's essential to assess the dog's temperament and specific needs. Some dogs with severe anxiety or aggression may require a different approach.
What should I look for in a board and train facility?
Look for certified trainers with experience, positive reviews from other dog owners, clean facilities, and a structured training program. It's also important that they use humane training methods.
How will I know what my dog learned during the board and train?
Trainers typically provide a detailed report upon your dog’s return, including the skills learned, any challenges faced, and recommendations for continued training at home.
Will my dog come back fully trained?
While board and train can significantly improve your dog's behavior, ongoing training and reinforcement at home are crucial to maintain and build upon the skills learned.
What if my dog has behavioral issues?
Discuss any behavioral concerns with the training facility before enrollment. Many board and train programs are equipped to handle issues like aggression, fear, or anxiety.
What should I do when I pick up my dog after the program?
Attend any training sessions offered to understand how to reinforce the skills your dog learned. Consistency at home is key to ensuring lasting results.
Are there any specific requirements for my dog to join a board and train program?
Requirements may vary, but typically your dog should be up to date on vaccinations, in good health, and free from contagious diseases. Some facilities may also require a temperament evaluation.
