Board and Train Whether you need help with a new puppy or your life just gets too busy, I can help. Board and Train is not “doggie boot camp”, it’s just a jump start on training. Your dog will live at my house and I will execute a training plan that we have previously agreed upon. Your participation after the boarding period is essential to keep the training consistent and successful. The board and train fee includes a written training plan and training session once the boarding time is completed. Training period is usually 2 weeks. However, other time periods can be arranged. Call for rates. Training Walks Has walking your dog become the most stressful part of your day? Does your dog pull you down the street or bark at other dogs? Or people? We can work together to make walking your dog the best part of your day. Once we decide on a training plan, I will take your dog for 30 minute training walks while you are at work. Exercise Walks Does your dog need a break today? I offer 20 to 30 minute walks to get your dog out and about. I tired dog means a happy owner.
