Advanced Individual Training (AIT) is a 2-3-week board and train program designed specifically for dogs older than the age of six months. The dog must have graduated our BCT, mBCT or passed our BCT evaluation. AIT starts with a refresher phase, where we will review the basics with your canine companion.

Once your dog has mastered the basics, we select an E-Collar appropriate for your dog’s size, temperament and coat type. We then introduce the E-Collar in a way your dog will associate reward with a desired behavior.

Once your dog understands the E-Collar, we can move on to more advanced skills, such off-leash Recall, Heel, Sit, Lay, Crate, Bed, In and Out. All commands taught in this program are off-leash. All commands inherently include basic Stay, meaning your dog will remain in the last command until freed. During AIT, we also work on housebreaking and reshaping unwanted behaviors, like *chewing, *digging, *excessive barking, *bolting, jumping on people and *furniture,*counter surfing, and pulling on the leash.

While your dog is enrolled in AIT, we will create a private Google Drive folder where we will share pictures and videos of your dog so you can stay up to date and involved in their training.

Once your dog finish/ graduates AIT, they will be awarded a training certificate.

Upon finishing the program/graduation, and after scheduling the drop-off date and time, we will return your trained dog free of charge. When we arrive with your dog, you will receive an hour and a half of orientation where we demonstrate how to correctly command your dog and properly enforce commands using the E-Collar when needed, the same way we taught your dog at our facility.

As the owner of your newly trained canine companion, understanding your dog’s new skills is one of the most important aspects of their success. Upon drop-off, you – and any family members – will demonstrate your ability to enforce your dog’s desired behaviors. This will eliminate conflict and guarantee a smooth transition as your dog recognizes you as their leader and food provider.

All our board and train programs are backed by lifetime support. This means we will assist you with any training issues through voice/video call, texts, emails, or through visual learning aids (i.e. videos of dogs who have had the same issues and how that unwanted behavior was reshaped). We can determine if an on-site visit may be necessary if more serious concerns or issues arise.
