Bingo! Dog Training & Boarding School is located in the rolling hills of the Royal Oaks community in Watsonville.  When your dog comes for boarding school s/he will be living in my home and become a part of my family during his/her stay.

My Boarding School Program is designed to address your individual needs.   Training is accomplished during a 1-4 week stay at my home and is specifically tailored to meet your needs.   A talk on the phone together will help me understand your needs and allow me to make recommendations if need be.  Some behavior problems can be addressed in this kind of environment, others cannot, I can give you an idea of realistic expectations over the phone. 

My Immersion Training Technique Coupled w/Field Trips Speeds Learning & Retention - I will work with your dog throughout the day, both in my home and out on field trips.  Training in a variety of situations and locations instead of in ‘training sessions' alone...that take place in a single location, will help your dog ‘generalize’ cues so s/he can apply the knowledge learned to many different circumstances.  Similar to earning Italian in class once a week vs living in Italy with an Italian family, immersion speeds learning and retention because situations are real and repeated frequently.

Why choose a Boarding School Program  teaching new skills and/or changing undesirable behaviors requires lot of repetition and consistency in the early stages along with a good understanding of how dogs learn.  Many pet owners are unable to meet that requirement. Boarding School provides a solution to this training dilemma. Over the years, I have had great success in helping people with their dog’s education. The training techniques used are gentle, respectful and work on all breeds and all types of dogs, primarily because they are well grounded in the science of how animals learn.  Dogs are trained both on and off-leash to help ensure off-leash reliability. Owners never cease to be amazed at how their dogs are able to demonstrate such a clear understanding of what is being asked of them after a boarding school course has been completed.

I’ll Be Training You Too - At the end of your dogs visit, I will train you with your dog.  Training is an ongoing process that requires regular involvement by those handling the dog on a day-to-day basis.  It is my goal to take your dog as far as I can in the time allotted. I will then provide you with the knowledge and skills that will allow you to continue training your dog in an effective, efficient manner.  Knowledge transfer takes place in a 1-2 hour session.

"Our 100lb., 8-month-old golden retriever was simply undisciplined and out of control.  "Big Ben" just could not be left alone with any kind of food on the kitchen counter, or he would simply help himself.  He was unable to greet visitors without a jumping body slam and taking him for a walk was like having your arm yanked out of the socket.  We knew that as our "puppy" continued to grow, our situation would only get worse and without the time and skills to properly train "Benny", we knew we needed a professional.

Cynthia Edgerly's boarding school was like sending Benny to charm school. I could not believe the make-over she did after only 10 days.  My husband and I hardly recognized our little buddy who had acquired manners that we had only dreamed of him having before and we could not stop smiling or laughing with delight  It worked!  And beyond that, Cynthia took extra special care and patience to make sure that after she trained Benny that she trained us too.  What a wonderful experience for us all."

Cynthia, we are forever grateful to you.  Thank you-thank you-thank you!
Best Regards,
Kate Moore

Hi Cynthia, 

" Thanks for following up on Jack.  Jack is doing exceptionally well.  He has been with us in the house since his return from your lovely Boarding School.  All five of our family members are using the same language with him, and he is just pleased as punch to be “on his bed” in the midst of our family activities. 

He does his “waiting” at doorways when we leave the house, and he hasn’t run through the house like a madman at all.  

It’s so great to have him in the house.  He gets so much more love and attention just being among us, and he’s far less anxious. "

Sincerely, Renee Curry
