Board & Train
Doggo Den's Board & Train Services
We have a unique free shaping & training style which we call “Lifestyle Training”.
This is where we simulate your home living environment and throughout the whole day use every opportunity as a teaching moment. In this home environment, your dog is part
of our family. They live with us, eat with us, and sleep near us. It means we can develop a bond with your dog, find out where the deepest issues and challenges are and address them accordingly whilst building up a layer of obedience.
The process tackles both behaviours and obedience with increasing difficulty, using different environments and stimuli.
At the end of the training program, the handover process is the best and most important part, where we train YOU! We will spend as long as it takes to make sure that what we have taught your dog, we also teach to you, to help keep up the good behaviour and obedience. We also supply cheat sheets and videos to aid you at home. Depending what type of board & train program you choose, we include at-home visits to polish up the program.
The end result of the Lifestyle Training is extremely efficient and effective training and rehabilitation.
Why Go With Our Board & Train
Why
Our main goal
Some people we meet think that the stressful life with their dog will never change and the bad behaviours will never go away. With effective training, we can safely say that even the most aggressive and fearful dogs lives can change for the better.
The number of dogs we see being re-homed or euthanized because time or money can't be invested into them would want to make anyone cry.
Even the simple act of training your dog to not counter-surf, can save you thousands of dollars. We're looking at you Mr. Black Lab who decides he can steal corn on the cob from the kitchen counter resulting in a $7000 vet fee.
Every dog escapes from its house or yard at least once in its lifetime. What will they do once they escape? Run in the middle of the road? Attack another dog or person out of territorial instincts or fear?
This is what happens with a lack of training and balance in your dog's life. We can correct this imbalance and make sure that you and your dog are communicating effectively, even when mistakes are made. The first step in getting help is the hardest part. We take care of the rest, and will best advise you based on your unique situation.
