Board and Train

Picture
Choosing the right training program for you and your dog can be challenging.

Many desire a board and train as they are not confident they have the time or ability to handle private lesson instruction. Possibly you just need a sanity break and board and train appeals to that.

We offer two different levels for board and train.  




Your dog if selected into the program, they will come to live with the trainers for approximately a 3-4 week period. During this time trainers will build the foundation of the core skills of all basic obedience on leash.  Once the basics have been taught we will introduce the remote training collar (Ecollar) over the final weeks of it's stay. The ecollar when utilized properly is one of the most humane dog training tools. It will provide you with so much more freedom and fun with your dog than you have ever imagined.  

We do also offer a longer board and train program for dogs that have bigger behavior issues present.  With his option dog stays with us for 5-6 weeks.  


At the conclusion of all board and train programs, the owner will arrive for a lengthy going home lesson. During this lesson we will demonstrate the dogs training. We will coach you on the proper usage of all dog training equipment.  We will coach you on how to maintain your dogs training and how to develop the proper lifestyle for your dog at home.   There will be practical application by you during this lesson. Concluding this lesson, you will get to go home with your dog and begin applying these changes and enjoying this improved relationship to your dog.  

Included in this program is the opportunity to schedule "free" follow up lessons with us.  These free lessons are available during the first 2 months from when the dog returns home with you.   For many years we offered these follow ups for free for the life of the dog.  We have ended that offer to motivate you and make you a bit more accountable to your responsibility to maintain the training.  Well... this creates procrastination in the dog owner and they allow training to regress and assume they will seek our help later.   That is not a recipe for long term success. 


For those that do not live close enough to schedule in person follow lessons, they can receive virtual coaching as part of the program.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I am absolutely thrilled and amazed with my dog, Diesel, and his progress with K9 Command. Diesel and I went with the Gold Unleashed Potential program and now that we are finished I am excited with how well my dog behaves. I can literally take my dog anywhere and he is well mannered and behaves.

Amy and Mark are wonderful, they truly have a passion and put their all into what they do. I have learned if you listen to what they tell you and put in a little effort you can train your dog to do anything with ease!

K9 Command also offers a wide variety of healthy dog foods and treats. Diesel loves Acana and it is so much better for him!

I am truly satisfied with our success with K9 Command and I truly recommend it to anyone considering training for their dog from basic obedience all the way to advanced skills and more they are the place to go!
