Program Details
We offer customized training plans to suit each individual dog, starting at 6 months or older.
During our 4 week Board and Train program, we focus on building trust and using variable reinforcement schedules we teach obedience commands. Over the course of your dog’s stay, we increase the difficulty and distractions to allow for more environmental exposure, confidence, neutrality, and impulse control. This approach helps your dog to learn how to stay calm and responsive not just in comfortable environments, but also high levels of arousal and distraction.
During their Board & Train stay, each dog has a lead trainer. In addition to training, every dog is walked multiple times as well as integrated play each day and has time to play within our securely fenced area.
For the duration of your dog’s training and even after they return home, you can call or text your trainer at any time (you’ll also receive updates with pictures and videos Tuesdays and Fridays while your dog is with us). We also provide pick-up and drop-off service, so we’ll pick up your dog and deliver him back to you when the program is complete. Upon your dogs return, we do an intensive training session with you and your dog to help with the transition and begin the process of teaching you how to reinforce and further improve on what we started.
And this support doesn’t end when we leave your home. At Loudoun K9 we offer monthly maintenance programs to support you and help you get back on track when life gets busy and training may have taken a back seat. Our monthly subscription program has many different options for you to choose from to meet your specific needs at any given time. Contact us for details.
