Board and Train
(including home care option)
One benefit of our Board and Train in Methuen MA is it breaks the cycle of behavior at your home while your dog is being trained
Our Board and Train is perfect for owners with busy schedules, who travel a distance to get to us and for clients who need to break the cycle of bad behaviors while their dog is being trained.
Why Board & Train?
As professionals, when we start a training session we always have a specific outcome we plan to achieve, and a strategy of how we plan to accomplish it. As a dog gives us feedback, we change that strategy. That change typically happens over and over again throughout the session. That's the way every training session goes throughout the day. That's part of what enables us to achieve outstanding outcomes, and in relatively short periods of time.
The traditional alternative to Board & Train is attending a weekly dog training class. In weekly dog training classes you're taught one approach to use with your dog, every session, for the entire week that follows. It's no wonder why weekly classes to train a dog almost never works. The training doesn't respond to the dog's specific needs. You want a professional providing your dog with precisely the training your dog needs, moment by moment. That's our Board & Train program, as well as our Day School option.
Another benefit to Board & Train is breaking the cycle of problem behaviors. For your dog to leave your home for "Camp NDT" for a few weeks breaks the cycle of problem behaviors at home. This is something that doesn't happen with our Day School program. This breaking the cycle of behaviors is especially beneficial when dealing with housebreaking issues and any type of reactivity.
How Does Board and Train Work?
In our Board and Train program your dog is in a traditional boarding kennel environment while going through their training. Our traditional boarding kennel set up includes indoor/ outdoor chain link kennels so that dogs are always separated during their stay. We use wood shavings on the floor to help keep dogs clean throughout their stay with us. The cost for boarding is $50.00 a day.
Board and Train with Home Care
We also offer home care as an option for some board and train clients. The cost is $75 to $100 a day, which is paid directly to our staff, and your dog will go home with them at the end of the day.
Home for Weekends
Most dogs remain with us the entire time while going through their Board and Train program. For most dogs, going home for the weekend is an option. Just arrange for a late pick up in Friday afternoon and a Monday drop off.
