Benefits of our Board and Train program include: -A professional, certified trainer teaches your dog for you, then you'll learn how to maintain the behaviours at the transfer lesson (weekly). -Learn about effective training methods. Gain the knowledge and the skills to train new behaviours and problem solve in the future -Less stress at home. Take a beak from your dogs upsetting behaviour and get your dog back with new skills and desirable behaviours. -Worry free with daily updates and pictures of your dog behaving well! -Foster trust in your relationship with your dog due to a humane training program.
For those who want to be a central part of their dog's training, private lessons can be so beneficial. Together we create and work on a training plan to effectively change behaviour and see results.
How does it work? During the evaluation, I learn all about your schedule, your family, your dog, and what behaviours you're struggling with. I'll give you an immediate management plan to keep the undesired behaviours under control, and you'll receive a training plan to fit your needs. We'll discuss each others expectations, and I'll answer any preliminary questions you may have.
Following the evaluation, your dog will stay with Ashley for weeks at a time (minimum 1 week) and learn how to perform desired behaviours. At the end of each week there is a transfer session where the dog's parents are taught how to maintain the dogs' new behaviours.
When we clicker train, we focus on good behaviour, so you’re always on the lookout for the positive. This helps your dog immensely, but it also is good for the human mind. It creates healthy brain patterns that benefit you and your dog - even in non training scenarios!
