Board & Train
Due to high demand we are only accepting puppies 6 months and younger at this time.
The Board and Train Package at The Exceptional Pet is different than many other places. Your dog will have the time of their lives while they learn basic commands, leash skills, door manners, polite greetings and more. We offer a unique home-like environment where your dog will be living with a team of highly skilled trainers.
One of the most important aspects of any Board and Train program is variation in locations. Your puppy will not only be trained in a home environment but we will also socialize your puppy in different places, on different surfaces, and around different dogs.
The program is structured in this way so the the skills learned will transfer easily to the owners and the home environment.
The follow-up private lessons show owners how to reinforce the training behaviors at home and maintain them once the program is completed.
Email us at info@theexceptionalpet.com for more information.
Board and Train programs are not appropriate for reactive, extremely fearful, or aggressive dogs. We always put the dogs needs first and a board and train program will cause more stress to an already stressed or traumatized dog. Your dog will do best working directly with the person or people s/he trusts the most, you. Our goal is to teach you how to not just mitigate the behavior but also how best to advocate for your dog. We want your dog to feel less stressed or fearful and have long term success.
We do not believe in suppressing the behavior through corrections but instead healing the fear through scientifically proven counter conditioning.
Client Testimonial
I wanted to let you know about the experience we had with Donna when Lexi stayed with her for a board and train. I am so pleased and impressed with the amount of training that Lexi came back to us knowing especially with her only being with Donna for 24 hours! She came back to us knowing to drop anything on demand, being much calmer and not lunging at our other two dogs, walking next to me and not pulling at all on her leash. I actually couldn’t believe it!!
She also gave me some things(lexi being crazy while she’s eating) to work with Lexi on that she noticed may need attention. Her recommendations have worked wonders and helped us tremendously during feedings. She now sits calmly and eats slowly…..No Craziness!!!!
Just wanted to let you know what a great job Donna did!! My husband and I are very grateful!
Thanks,
