Hybrid Board And Train Programs

 
 

Hybrid board & train programs are great ways to rebuild a dog’s bad foundation, and allows for you to be able to make changes at home while the dog is away. My goal is always to provide a new foundation to work with, but your dog will of course want to go back to old habits. That’s why it’s very important to ask questions, to understand the behaviors and how to address them, and how they were created, and why certain privileges need to be revoked for a period of time post board & train.

When it comes to severe anxiety and aggression to humans, dogs, animals, months of work will still need to be done. Even after 3-6 weeks of boarding & training, you should expect to continue the work i’ve done and to progress with my guidance over time.
