Policies

All programs require an in-person consultation. A board and train program is not a replacement for everyday, at-home training; owner commitment to ongoing training and reinforcement is essential for long-term success. Individual private sessions are not intended for extensive behavior modification, severe anxiety issues, or aggressive behavior; for such cases, Board and Train programs are recommended.
