Premium Board & Train
Duration: Six Weeks
Cost: $6000.00 + HST
Who is this for? The six week program is practical for all the dogs included in the four week program, but may be recommended by your trainer to give extra time to practice your dog's new skills and proof them in situations your dog may find challenging such as stores, walks in certain parks, or patios. This program is more catered towards dogs with particular struggles and has more flexibility to train in specific scenarios that your dog may struggle with as opposed to standard field trips.
What's Included: Slip leash, Herm Sprenger Prong Collar (as needed), Place Bed, E-Collar Technologies brand E-Collar, extra field trips catering to your dog's specific issues, a 1-2 hour transfer lesson at the end of the board and train, three free follow up lessons, and support for the life of your dog via text, email, or phone.

Refresher Week
Duration: One Week (multiple weeks may be purchased)

What's Included: A one hour lesson at the end of the week to update you on all the training and give you a little refresher yourself! If you require any equipment that may have been misplaced, it can be purchased separately upon request.
