Board & Train
We all dream of having the perfect dog - well adjusted, obedient, and calm. If you don’t have the time, energy, expertise or feel overwhelmed by the prospect of transforming your dog into the perfect pet, consider the Deena Speaks Dog Boarding and Training.
Dogs are boarded and trained in my home in Caledon. The minimum stay for board and train is 3 weeks. Quick fixes are not the goal here, this is not about teaching your dog basic commands. My aim is to create a more balanced and calmer member of your family. Dogs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The exact program that is best for your dog is determined through a meet and greet, prior to entry into the program. Programs can include telephone/email updates. Every program includes on site training recap as well as a complimentary follow up lesson. There are two other team members besides myself, working with each dog, multiple times each day. Space is limited in the program to ensure that all the dogs get lots of hands on time and training.
Here are some typical situations and the time needed to rectify them:
Jumping, leash pulling, nipping, counter surfing, resource guarding, rushing through/overexuberance/barking at the door, lunging at other dogs while on a walk, mild forms of separation anxiety, fear based behaviours - such as under confidence, multi dog in home issues, selective listening skills when asked to come: Three- fours weeks.
The key to success is being proactive not reactive, when we’re shaping your dog’s behavior. The key is consistency and repetition. We’ll show you the techniques we used to train your dog. If there’s any slips, we can address and modify them at your follow up lesson and get you back on track.
Some dogs who have entrenched behaviours, at best, we can change the dog’s attitude towards the situation. However, you, as the owner, may have to keep in place behavior modification for the rest of the dogs life, to keep him displaying the desired effect that you’re looking for.
