Advanced Canine

Training begins with on-leash obedience and behavioral modification using positive reinforcement. Programs include 5–7 training sessions per day, exercise between sessions, and real-world exposure to overcome fears. Puppy training focuses on socialization, housebreaking, crate training, and managing biting and whining. Board and train programs last up to 7 days, with dogs returning knowing commands like sit, stay, come, heel, and improved behavior. Owners receive follow-up guidance to maintain progress at home.
