Maximum Potential Dog Training

Maximum Potential Dog Training offers 2-week and 3-week Board & Train programs, as well as one-on-one obedience training. The Board & Train programs are 24/7 personalized training experiences where the dog stays in the trainer’s home and interacts with other dogs, being treated like a family dog.

Training focuses on functional, real-world obedience that can be used daily, both inside and outside the home, off-leash, and around distractions. Obedience training includes Sit, Down, Place, Heel, Recall, Threshold training, Wait for Food, Car Manners, House Manners, and Crate training.

Common issues addressed in the 2-week program include lunging, barking, growling, pulling, mouthing, nipping, minor reactivity, jumping, counter surfing, digging, confidence building, and getting in the trash. The 3-week program provides extra time to work through more intense issues such as dog aggression, human aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, fear issues, and leash reactivity.

At the conclusion of a Board & Train, a 2-3 hour training session is provided for the owner to learn how to lead their dog, understand dog behavior, and properly use the training equipment. Lifetime support is included, with additional follow-up training sessions, monthly maintenance training sessions on request, and phone, text, and email support.

Pricing Summary

The 2 Week Board & Train program costs $1700, and the 3 Week Board & Train program costs $2200. Additional weeks, if necessary for severe issues, are available at a rate of $400 per week. All Board & Train programs include a Herm Sprenger prong collar, an E-Collar Technologies electronic collar, and a 20-foot nylon training lead, with no additional equipment to purchase.
