“After spending $9,000 with various board and train programs, we were frustrated with our dog’s lack of progress. Now that Hank is home, he is finally the polite dog we knew he could be!” – Matthew Love
Are you headed out of town and want your dog to upgrade his manners while you’re away? Or perhaps you’d like to contract out the lion’s share of training to an expert? Either way, consider Board and Train!
Why Pavlov? There are a number of special aspects to Pavlov’s Board and Train Camp. First, your dog’s day will be filled with structured walks, training sessions, and three daily socialization groups. Your dog will build healthy social skills with fellow dogs. Most dog training facilities shy away from socialization groups, and isolate campers from one another. We feel that play groups fulfill a basic social need. Secondly, Pavlov’s training approach is a healthy hybrid of traditional and contemporary training. Consequently, your dog will excel quickly in learning new skills and stopping unwanted behaviors. Finally, your dog’s alumni status will open doors. Namely, lifetime access to group class and pack walks. Also, your dog may qualify for boarding with benefits. This way polite manners are maintained when you leave town.
Board and Train Camp Agenda
See the agenda items above. Solid training for all lessons inside, and on a leash outside. This program is 2 weeks.
Take your dog’s training off-leash, outside, and around real-world distractions. You and your dog will learn the skill of humane electronic collar training – the responsible and SAFE way to have your dog off-leash. An excellent program if you’d like to bless your dog with off-leash freedom on the hiking trail!
This program is 1 week for Pavlov grads of obedience 1, and 2 weeks for dogs who successfully completed another pro dog training program.
Located in your dog trainer’s home. Agenda items focus on puppy-centric lessons, namely, crate training, house training, and socialization. Meals are earned through obedience training. Your puppy will be exposed to various humans and family dogs in a home environment. The specific timeframe may be discussed in advance. Two-week programs include free enrollment in puppy preschool at our Denver facility. (Access to preschool replaces access to group obedience classes.) Assuming your puppy takes well to boarding, she/he may qualify for boarding with benefits.
Behavior programs address critical issues and everything in obedience 1 and 2. Our highest-demand programs include Leash Drama (for dogs who bark and lunge on leash or behind barriers), threatening behaviors, mild to moderate separation anxiety, and mild to moderate fears and phobias. A remote electronic collar is required. This is generally a 3-week program.
Do you prefer your dog to board directly in your trainer’s home? If so, ask us about this program, which costs an additional $200 a week.
Do you have a small dog weighing under eighteen pounds? We got you! Small dogs board in their trainer’s home.
Typical programs are two weeks and cost $3000. Pricing fluctuates based on supply & demand. If your dog is green to dog training, and you would like to progress your dog through both the on-leash and off-leash programs, we can accomplish both in three weeks for $4500. A non-refundable deposit of $750 or $1125 is due at the time of booking. The remainder of the first half is due at drop-off, and the second half is due at pick-up.
