Questions about this program
It’s Thistleborne K9’s signature program: six weeks of training in three phases. Weeks 1–2, your dog trains with Samantha. Weeks 3–4, your dog is home with you, with two private sessions a week (four in all). Weeks 5–6, your dog comes back to refine and advance their skills.
Traditional board and train concentrates on what the dog learns away from its owner. Lasting results need both ends of the leash to understand the training. The home phase shows how training carries into your daily life, so challenges get handled while help is on hand and the final two weeks are targeted.
Every plan is built for one dog, so pricing for the 2-2-2 Board & Train is quoted at your consultation. Private lessons, behavior modification and sport-coaching packages are also quoted after a quick conversation about your goals.
Your dog lives at home and you practice the new skills in your real routines. You get two private sessions a week with Samantha (four in all) to transfer the training, adjust techniques to your household and build your confidence as a handler.
