Board & Train
Canine Country Kennels in partnership with Canine Company Dog Training & Behaviour Consulting offers a Boarding School for dogs where they can enjoy 100% positive motivational training for basic commands and behaviours. Training can include basic commands such as down, stay and the very important COME, as well as good manner behaviours, such as walking on a loose leash, politely greeting people and settling on a mat. Training is customized to each individual dog and family so you decide what you want your dog to learn. There is no limit to what your dog can learn.
All training is done exclusively by Katherine Ferger, KPA-CTP of Canine Company.
Teaching your dog basic commands is one of the most important responsibilities of any dog owner. Sometimes though, the amount of time required in early training is much more than anticipated or some dogs have challenges which slow down the learning process. We have the time, the experience and the knowledge to train your dog efficiently in a relatively short period of time.
You do not need to be a professional dog trainer to own and handle a well trained dog, let us do the ground work for you! Our Boarding School is exceptional! Your dog will receive exercise, play sessions and lots of love and affection while staying with us. We can do in two to three weeks what might take some owner several months to learn and practice in only once weekly classes. Quite simply....we have the time you may not.
Prior to booking your dog for Canine Company Boarding School you will have a consultation where your goals are discussed. A personalized plan will be designed and goal commands and behaviours will be identified. This needs to be done within one week of your dog being signed in.
We will video tape training and provide written daily reports on each training session with your dog. Upon your return you will have a two to three hour one-on-one consultation where we demonstrate to you what your dog has learned as well as show you video of your dog in outside places such a parks etc., demonstrating recalls and other behaviours. We then show you how to continue with training and will teach you the skills for you to be able to continue to reinforce what your dog has learned. All email and telephone follow up is included in our Boarding School Program to help keep you and your dog on track.
Does Board and Train really work? Yes, it can. The success of our program relies on positive training methods based on proven scientific principles of learning. Dogs who learn this way are reliable and can transfer behaviours easily to anyone who uses the same methods. So what your dog learns with us, he/she can easily do with any member of your family employing the same positive, motivational techniques we will show you upon your graduation and "Pick Up" session. We train for real life, not in an obedience ring. So your dog learns to settle on a mat while we watch TV, learns how to walk on a loose leash on the streets outside our home and in downtown Barrie etc. Recalls are taken outside to real parks with real distractions. If we only trained your dog in a training hall we could only expect your dog to listen well in a training hall, but our program takes place in the real world, which is where you and your dog live. We take training to the park, to the sidewalk, in the car, to the mall, to other people's homes and anywhere else we need to go.
The success of our program also relies on your expectations and your follow through. Our pre boarding session will help you set realistic goals and we will individualize the training programs to your life and needs and your dog's ability. We will also figure out how long a stay your dog will likely require at our facility. Most dogs average stay is about two and a half weeks. Our one on one session upon picking up your dog will ensure you have the skills and knowledge to keep your dog trained and transfer all their new commands and behaviours to your home and life. Our taped sessions and written reports give you a chance to go over anything needing clarification and we are always here for follow up via telephone or email whenever you need it!
Your dog will also receive daily exercise and socialization while in our program. Walks, hikes, and play time are an integral part of our program's success rate!
Cost:
2 week (minimum stay for most dogs) $675
3 weeks $900
4 weeks $1100
1 week Puppy Head Start Program (puppies from 8-12 weeks of age only) $350
1 week refresher course (for previous clients of board and train, or clients of current training classes) $250
