Focus

Our Comprehensive Adult Dog Board and Train program is designed to address the real and often overlooked challenges faced by adult dogs, rooted in their natural instincts and heritage, which have been somewhat forgotten in today's pet-friendly lifestyle. Dogs have been our invaluable partners and companions for tens of thousands of years, working alongside us in critical capacities. But in the 21st century, the modern pet environment and lifestyle can be seriously difficult for most dogs, given their natures, instincts, and history. Chronic "behavior problems" that have become common in adult dogs are a red flag indicating underlying issues that need to be addressed. We often see this in counter surfing, lunging, pulling, digging, chewing...

Understanding Changes Everything:

We believe that understanding, not just more training, is the key to helping our dogs adapt. As a culture, we've forgotten who our dogs are and the shared history we have with them. Our training program takes inspiration from Kim Brophey's L.E.G.S. Model of Integrated Canine Science, which has been celebrated by dog professionals worldwide. This model makes understanding this user friendly. It introduces the foundational elements that direct the behavior of all animals, offering crucial insights into your dog's behavior within their domestic setting.

Dog Training with a Difference:

Our Comprehensive Adult Dog Board and Train program isn't about traditional dog training with a focus on obedience alone. It's about meeting your dog where they are, understanding their unique recipe of L.E.G.S. (Learning, Environment, Genetics, & Self) and understanding how to meet their needs through enrichment. Just like any animal on Earth, a dog's behavior is shaped by both nature and nurture. It's not one or the other. Our modern pet dogs face challenges because of the disruption of the natural balance created by captivity and controlled breeding.

Customized Solutions:

We recognize that every adult dog is unique, and their training program is customized based on their temperament, learning style, and your specific training goals. We take a holistic science-based positive approach that considers all aspects of your dog's life, including the challenges they may face as a result of their domestication. Our focus is to take the knowledge we have and work with you on building a training plan that fits your goals. Since we will not punish your dog and suppress who they are, this takes a level of recognizing that behavior doesn't change overnight. Instant fixes are fear driven.

What I Learn?

We understand that the idea of sending your dog away for training can feel like expecting them to return like a programmed computer or a freshly delivered pizza you can simply open and enjoy. However, our approach recognizes that dogs are complex living beings, requiring more than just a few simple adjustments to ensure lasting results. To support you in maintaining and reinforcing what your dog learns with our trainers, we've developed a comprehensive series of educational materials. Not only will you receive a detailed packet at the end of the training, but we've also created a program to guide you through each core area while your dog is with us.

Our goal is to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to continue your dog's progress. We want to educate you while your dog is with us learning to make the transition home smoother. This program includes easy access to scientific research data, ensuring transparency and credibility in our methods. Together, we'll ensure that your dog's training isn't just a temporary fix but a lasting transformation that enhances your bond for years to come.
