hybrid Board & 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.

Many desire private lessons because they acknowledge, as all should, that they need as much coaching as the dog needs training. 

Many want group classes because they want the ability to have a dog that is obedient around other dogs and people. Possibly you feel your dog does well for the most part but struggles out in public when it sees other dogs, etc.

This elite program is the perfect hybrid of them all!

This program mixes all three teaching and training formats into one.

Your dog if selected into the program, they will come to live with the trainers for approximately a 4 week period. During this time trainers will build the foundation of the core skills of all basic obedience on leash.  The dog will also be conditioned to the Ecollar over the final week of it's stay. This allows us, with our decades of experience, to get the essential teaching done in a very structured manner with us.

We do also offer a Platinum program where your dog stays with us for 5-6 weeks and we complete the training to include all of the ecollar phase.  This may be a more attractive option for those that live a great distance from us.  


At the conclusion of the 4 week stay, you will arrive for a scheduled going home lesson. During this lesson we will demonstrate the dogs progress. We will coach you on the proper handling of your dog through the leash in the commands that have been taught. There will be practical application under our coaching. Concluding this lesson, you will get to go home with your dog and will have daily training assignments to work on to build your proficiency in handling and establishing structure in the home.  This is where you will need to pull up your sleeves a bit and get involved in transforming your dog.

Approximately one week later you will return to our facility for the first of four weekly group classes/private lessons.  During this block of group classes/private lessons you will be taught how to now add the Ecollar into your handling of your dog.  During these lessons we will add more distance, duration, and distraction to the commands that have been taught.  These group sessions will be with other dogs that just completed the same board and train block that your dog did along with other students that will merge into this session.  This provides an environment to begin really proofing your dog.  

For those that do not live close enough to attend the group/private sessions, they will receive virtual coaching as part of the program.  

What will your dog learn to do?

Heeling 
Automatic sit at heel
Sit
Down
Stay
Place
Come when called


What will they learn not to do?

Jumping
Pulling
Nipping
Bolting out doors
and more!


What will YOU learn?

Proper leash handling skills to navigate through the real world!
Developing daily routines and structure in the home!
How to use an Ecollar fairly and humanely to gain more off leash freedom!
And MUCH more!


This is by far the most value added program we have to offer.

When we speak of trainers we are speaking about Mark and Amy who each have almost 30 years of experience.  We as a company are NOT putting your dog in the hands of interns fumbling through learning how to train dogs with your dog as their guinea pig.  


Included in this program is all the training equipment you will need.
So here is what you get!

A 4 week training camp stay with the trainers at their home and facility.
You will receive one going home private lesson where we take the time to coach you individually.
What follows is four group class sessions where we coach you how to put it all together.  

Equipment Included is as follows:
Remote training collar
A suitable leash training collar for your dog
A 15' long line

Group class sessions are held on weeknights once a week.  If a group session is not available your sessions will be conducted privately with the trainer. 

This program, with the training stay, private lesson, and four group sessions, with training equipment, is available for cost of $4850.

A non-refundable deposit of $1850 is required to book your training and the balance is due the day the dog arrives to begin the training program.

Platinum Program option is 5-6 weeks long and includes all of the above but we complete the ecollar phase for you.  A lengthy lesson is provided upon completion of the stay and follow up lessons are free.  The cost for this program option is $5500. Non-refundable deposit for this program is $2000. 

If you are seeking a shorter board and train program at a lesser price please contact us for details.  Shorter programs can be customized for suitable dogs only. 


We currently have limited openings for summer 2024!

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!
