Owner Involved Board & Train
About the program: This two-week program is structured with the dog and owner in mind. Although not your typical board and train it allows the owner to be a part of the training midway through their program. Your dog will receive five days of training, with the owner dropping off on Monday and picking up Friday. Friday afternoon you will have a private session with your trainer and your dog and take your pup home to reinforce and practice what they have learned. Your pup will return on Monday for another five days of training. This weekend at home allows you to bring concerns or questions to your trainer so that the training meets your needs as a family.

What we will work on during your dog’s board and train program:
At The Bark Club we realize that every dog is different. During our initial consultation we will discuss the needs you have for your pup to develop a personalized training plan. The program covers basic to advanced obedience and is not a good fit for aggression or severe behavior modification.
