Board and Train - is a time efficient, highly effective dog training program designed to teach your dog the manners he or she needs to be your best friend and a real member of your family. Training is done during a 10 or more day stay in my home.  At the end of your dogs visit, I will train you with your dog.

My Immersion Training Technique Speeds Learning & Retention - Training is done throughout the day, in a variety of situations and locations instead of in ‘training sessions...that take place in a single location’. This helps your dog ‘generalize’ cues so s/he can apply the knowledge learned to many different circumstances.  Similar to learning French in class once a week vs living in France with a French family, immersion speeds learning and retention because situations are real and repeated frequently.

Time Saving Training - No time to train your dog? Going on vacation and want more than regular boarding for your dog? Your dog will benefit from personalized training for obedience, manners, and behavior issues while he enjoys family style boarding in my home.  

I’ll Be Training You Too - 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 usually takes place in a 1-2 hour session.  The fee for this session is included in your Board & Train package.

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 training.  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

Commonly asked questions:

Q: How many dogs do you board and train at one time?    A: I will not accept more than 2-dogs into my board and train program at one time.

Q: Have you ever lost a dog?   A: No.  My property (with the exception of the parking lot) is fenced on all sides. That does not mean it is impenetrable.  If your dog is an escape artist please let me know in advance so I can take the extra measures required to ensure they don't escape.

Q: How do you train?  A: I use clicker training techniques, time-outs and body language.  I do not train with shock collars, choke collars or prong collars.

Q: What will my dogs day be like?  A: I try to make all visiting dogs feel as comfortable as possible, as soon as possible, as I believe this makes for a better learning environment.  In the attached Board and Train contract you will see many questions that ask about your dogs current likes and dislikes.  You are required to bring your dogs food, bed, crate (if applicable), toys, chewies and grooming tools.  I want your dog to feel at ease and confident so s/he can focus and work on learning the behavior you desire.  Dogs are normally free to roam my home and property when I am home.  If I leave the grounds, your dog will be confined to the dog room w/run, a crate or play pen.  Dogs are never left alone together unless they are from the same household. Most, if not all days will include field trips to parks and beaches lasting around 2-hours.  Training occurs on my property and any other property we visit.

Q: What kind of dogs do you worked with?  A: All breeds and most temperaments.  I've worked with dogs from 2 - 200 pounds; 6-weeks to 14-years of age; sassy dogs and scared dogs; athletic dogs and couch potatoes. I've also trained a Wolf and a Donkey.  I hope to train more species soon.  I will not board dogs that have a history of serious bites to other dogs or people.
