What is puppy board and train?
Puppy board and train is an immersive training program where your puppy stays with me and receives hands on daily training, structure, guidance, and supervised exposure to the world around them. Rather than only working during a once a week lesson, your puppy is living the training every day. This allows for more consistency, more repetition, and a stronger foundation.
This program focuses on teaching your puppy how to learn, how to follow guidance, how to.engage with the handler, and how to build calm, clear behavior both inside and outside the home.
Every puppy is different, but depending on age, temperament, and readiness, training may include:
- Marker conditioning
- Engagement and check-ins
- Name recognition
- Positive reinforcement foundations
- Sit
- Down
- Place
- Recall foundations
- Heel foundations
- Work mode versus break mode
- Threshold manners
- Crate routine
- Food manners
- Neutrality around people, dogs, noises, and environmental distractions
- Confidence building
- Proper leash guidance and introduction to leash pressure
- Household structure and calmness
For young puppies, the focus is on building clarity, confidence, responsiveness, and solid habits early.
