Board & Train

Developing owners and dogs together is essential to their relationship. Conventionally, a board and train program removes the dog from a normal living environment into an intense training atmosphere unlike their future life with their owners. Training your pet is as much about educating you as it is teaching your dog. Therefore, boarding and training dogs creates a learning gap between handler and dog and sets unrealistic expectations on both.

Dogs California offers a similar service called the Board and Prep Program, which offers the dog / handler team a jump-start where dogs live in a home training environment with one of our professionals. This service is only offered with a commitment to training your dog in our system upon return. The Board and Prep Program typically lasts 5 days. This program also gives our trainer a better understanding of the dog and allows for better coaching of the team.

Benefits of Board and Prep:

Provide dog with introduction to basic exercises and vocabulary
Speeds rate of results for handler in classes
Dogs learned expected home behavior around children, adults, and other dogs
Teaches social skills and manners
Utilize crate training
Emphasis proper bathroom habits
