BOARDING SCHOOL
Drop-off Training
Need more help with puppy training? Now your puppy can get the help he/she needs in the calm and comfort of a private home with a Wonder Puppy Trainer!
Boarding School provides the perfect balance of all of the essential "wonder puppy" ingredients: socialization, training, exercise, and rest. Whether it is for the day or an extended vacation, now you can leave your little one with peace of mind. We accept puppies as young as 8 weeks of age with 1 set of vaccinations.
Boarding School is a great option if you...
Work during the day
Instead of sitting home alone in a crate, your puppy can visit with a professional trainer for complete nurturing and learning enrichment. Day Training is the best option for you!
Go out of town
Instead of staying in a kennel, your puppy can stay in a home environment with a professional trainer, learning in real life situations as part of a family. Choose Overnight Training!
Feel overwhelmed
If you are stressed out having to juggle puppyhood with other commitments, or if you and your puppy are struggling, Day Training and Overnight Training are for you! You can give yourself a break while providing your pup with a wonderful boost of guidance for socialization, basic skills, and behavior issues.
Don't have enough time to train
You can leave it to the puppy professionals. We will get a good foundation started for you and then schedule private sessions for transferring the skills to you. Overnight Training serves as a great holistic alternative to the traditional “board-and-train” facility.
Topics Covered:
- Socialization: sites, sounds, people, dogs
- Basic Skills: name recall, sit, down, stay, drop it, go to your bed, come when called, greeting manners, leash manners, take it, drop it, leave it
- Behavior Issues: jumping, chewing, play-biting, potty training, crate training, general impulse control
Each day includes a healthy balance of activity:
- 1 “field trip of the day” for worldly sight and sound socialization and training
- 1 + hours of dog-dog socialization
- 1 + hours of clicker training for basic skills and manners
- 2 nap times with crate time (for rest, boundary practice, and separation training)
- 2 snack times with food puzzles and chew sticks
- 10 minute follow up with trainer upon “check out”
