Canine Behavior Change Programs

 

Residential Training Built on Behavioral Psychology

​

Our Canine Behavior Change Programs are not traditional “send-your-dog-away” board and trains. They are structured, behavior-focused residential programs designed to create lasting change by addressing the root cause of behavior, not just surface-level obedience.

 

During their stay, dogs live within a calm, predictable routine that supports:

​

• Emotional regulation

• Stress reduction

• Clear communication

• Reliable obedience in real-world environments

 

Obedience is layered after emotional stability is established, allowing behaviors to hold once your dog returns home.

 

How Our Board & Train Is Different

​

Many board & train programs focus on:​

​

• High repetition

• Command compliance

• Temporary control

 

Our immersion programs focus on:

​

• Behavioral psychology

• Nervous system regulation

• Learning patterns and thresholds

• Generalization to real life

• Owner transfer and education

 

We don’t suppress behavior — we change the emotional response behind it.

 

What Your Dog Works On

 

Each program is customized, but may include:

​

• Emotional regulation and stress recovery

• Impulse control and frustration tolerance

• Loose leash walking

• Recall (come when called)

• Jumping and over-arousal

• Place / calm settling

• Confidence building

• Reactivity support (when appropriate)

 

All training is humane, ethical, and science-based.

 

Daily Structure During the Program

 

Dogs follow a consistent daily routine that includes:

​

• Calm decompression

• Engagement-based training sessions

• Structured obedience work

• Environmental exposure and field trips

• Rest and recovery time

 

This balance prevents burnout and supports real learning.

 

Owner Education & Transfer

 

Training does not end when your dog goes home.

 

All programs include a guided owner transfer process, where we:

​

• Teach you how your dog learned

• Show you how to maintain structure at home

• Coach you through handling and communication

• Ensure you feel confident before transition

 

This is what makes results last.
