Questions about this program

Good to Know

Do you use an e-collar?

Yes, as one communication tool among several. The 4-week programs include an e-collar and a slip lead, and the Advanced program adds a place cot. Every tool is introduced carefully, paired with rewards, and taught to you at pickup so you can use it fairly and confidently at home.

How does board & train work?

Your dog stays with Samantha in Auburn for two or four weeks on a structured routine of eat, play and train. Skills are built at the facility, then proofed in real places. At pickup you get a hands-on go-home lesson and free refresher sessions for the life of your dog. The 4-week programs also send home the e-collar and slip lead your dog trained with; Puppy Board & Train includes an emailed tool list.

How much does dog training cost?

Puppy Board & Train (2 weeks, ages 3–7 months) is $2,500. The 4-Week Obedience Board & Train is $3,000. The 4-Week Advanced Board & Train is $4,000, with financing available. Private lessons, behavior modification and sport-coaching packages are quoted after a quick conversation about your goals.

What happens after my dog comes home?

You leave with a hands-on go-home lesson (plus the e-collar and slip lead with the 4-week programs). Refresher sessions are free for the life of your dog, so if anything slips, you get help keeping it sharp.
