The
Academy of Canine Behavior has offered a month long Board
and Train program since the beginning of our existence.
Through those years the program has endured many changes
making it the most progressive and successful programs
available. And now, we feel, it’s time for a few
more.
•
All dogs will be fed by their Primary Care trainer for
the first three days the trainer is here, improving trainer
knowledge of dog’s health during initial intake period.
Especially important if your dog is a first time boarder.
• PLAY romps in one of our 2 classrooms
or outside around the grounds. This will happen at least
3 times a week.
• Socialization/Manners Program
Each dog will be placed in a different area on a
leash tied to the wall and will get work on having manners
throughout the day and/or learning to cope with the new
environment. This happens 3 times a week in addition to
the training.
• Day Outing Every dog in Board
and Train will now go on at least one day outing with the
trainers. The exact adventure will be discussed with the
trainer on the initial phone call to see what activities
are suitable to your lifestyle. I.E. Day Hike, Trip to
Downtown Kirkland coffee shops, Half day spent in home
environment, etc.
• Dog to Dog Behavioral Evaluation:
The chance for your dog to meet our pack of dogs, most
of which are owned by the training staff. Will include
what games they indulge in, who took to playing with them
and who didn’t. Good information for people
that aren’t sure how their dogs are with other dogs
or just good ol’ fun for your dog. This will happen
twice during the program, once in the first 2 weeks and
once in the second two weeks. (Dogs here for Dog
Aggression may not be able to partake in this activity.)
We
feel these changes are necessary for improving the trainer/dog
relationship, and also improving the trainers overall knowledge
of your dogs physical and mental state. In addition to
these changes, the program will still include the following:
•
Guarantee dogs will UNDERSTAND concept of all commands
on Word List. Also that they can perform them on
leash with owner.
• At least 3 visits for you and your family to learn
the concepts and training that your dog has learned here
during the program. Also to finish the program, we require
one follow up visit where the owner brings the dog back
in to discuss training issues.
• UNLIMITED follow up visits for the life of your
dog. Once you leave we don’t just stop helping you
as we know dogs go through many changes in their life.
• Assigned PRIMARY CARE trainer to watch over your
dog’s physical well
being during the stay here and keeping you in contact
with that information.
• Outings to either the store or park while here.
Helping to generalize that not
only on our property, but everywhere the dogs
must work.
• All dogs will work with multiple trainers while
here to continue to understand
the concept that they listen to anybody, not
just their Primary Care trainer.
An
effective program with a documented 99.5% success ratio!
Does your dog...
This
is our most intensive, most effective program. With this service,
your dog stays with us at our facility. We make an initial assessment
and develop a tailored training program for your dog. Our staff
of trainers work with your dog using positive reinforcement based on
a dog's natural behavior tendencies. (Every dog is treated in
a non-violent manner. We DO NOT punish a dog for errant behavior.)
Your dog is trained in all types of practical situations, inside and
outside. The dog is worked around people, other dogs and in many
different environments.
Regular
visits are scheduled for you and your family to come in and learn
to work under our supervision. These guided training sessions
give you an opportunity to learn more about canine behavior.
We teach you the same methods we use in training your dog. Working
with you ensures that the new, positive behavior, will transfer to
your environment. The 5 week program includes unlimited follow-up
visits for the life of the dog.
There
is a 2 Week Board and Train option as well. The dog stays with
us at our facility for the entire 2 weeks. The family comes
in at the end of the 2 weeks to spend an hour with a trainer learning
what the dog has learned and how to take the training home.
There are no more visits. If you decide at a later date you
need help you can schedule a private lesson.
