Dog Training Methodology
Performance K9 Training specializes in board and train programs, particularly for dog aggression and reactivity issues towards humans and dogs, aiming to deter reactive tendencies and teach obedience under distraction. Their programs are custom-tailored to address specific behavioral needs.
The Basic Behavior Modification program is a comprehensive 2-week board and train. The Advanced Behavior Modification Program is a 3 or 4-week board and train, offering more polished training for similar issues.
For puppies too young for the main board and train (under five months), the Yappy Puppy Program provides two private lessons to bridge the gap. Following any board and train program, pet parents receive three private lessons to learn the tools needed to maintain the training and become more polished handlers.
