Main Street Dogs

Main Street Dogs offers two main training formats: 1-on-1 in-home lessons and board-and-train programs lasting 2, 3, or 4 weeks at their facility. The board-and-train programs are designed for dogs needing intensive behavior modification, including stubborn or hard-to-train canines. Training focuses on basic obedience, behavior correction, and positive reinforcement techniques. Clients report significant improvements in behavior after completing the programs.
