Board and train consult

Our board and train consults are conducted at  2040 faria preserve parkway, San Ramon, CA 

We use positive reinforcement techniques to train dogs, which means we reward good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior.

The cost of our services varies depending on the type of training and the duration of the sessions. Please contact us for specific pricing information.

Training takes time and repetition. We have found that three weeks gives us the time needed to see the best results and have your dog performing to a standard that would be desired after a stay with us.

Our 3-week program covers basic manners, look, find it, touch, sit, down, come, stay, leave it, and loose leash walking.

Our 4-week program covers basic manners, look, find it, touch, sit, down, come, stay, leave it, and loose leash walking. Week 4 starts intermediate manners. We add distance distraction and duration to all known behavior, add in new behavior, heel, front, wait, spot/place, 

Our 5-week program covers 3 weeks of basic manners, look, find it, touch, sit, down, come, stay, leave it, and loose leash walking. Week 4 starts intermediate manners. We add distance distraction and duration to all known behavior, add in new behavior, heel, front, wait, spot/place... Week 5, we take all known behaviors and introduce off-leash prep. training. We use a 30-foot leash and train as if the dog were off leash.  We only use the leash as an emergency switch to prevent dangerous behavior, i.e., running into the street. 

Our goal is to have skills to 90% compliance in the majority of scenarios. If your dog can perform sit, for example, at 90% compliance, we will continue to practice to prevent known behavior from deteriorating during your pet's stay. If your dog does not perform at 90% compliance, we will train with the goal of achieving a 90% compliance.
