- Public etiquette (high-distraction stores/parks)
- Stronger impulse control
- Clear communication with verbal markers
⚡ 4-Week Board & Train
This is our most comprehensive program, designed for dogs who need more than just obedience. Whether your dog is reactive, anxious, or struggling with overstimulation or socialization, we take the time to help them build emotional balance and safe behavior patterns.
Everything in the 3-Week Program, plus:
- Desensitization to triggers (people, dogs, loud noises, etc.)
- Reduction of leash reactivity
- Building confidence through exposure
- Calm co-existence with other dogs
- Management plans for resource guarding or separation anxiety
- Structured play (if safe and appropriate)
Please note: Off-leash reliability may not be a realistic goal for all behavior cases, but structure and safety will always be our top priorities.
