Board & train
In our Board & Train programs, our goal is to build a strong relationship by opening the lines of communication between you and your dog. Every dog can benefit from training, and a trained dog is much more enjoyable. We start by teaching dogs the skills they need to know to understand what us humans are asking and then “proof” these skills in different environments and situations.
We work with all different dogs and breeds to bring out the best in every dog/human team. We have a main curriculum for our programs, but take the time to get to know each dog and adjust our program accordingly. For example, we take the time to show the nervous dogs how to have confidence and the confident energetic dogs how to have control and manners.
And yes, we train you too! Our programs cannot be successful without the owner’s participation. We train your dog, and then we coach you on how to keep it all going. Our clients are successful because they are dedicated to their dogs, committed to learning, and continue to be consistent as they go forward. We love our clients and can ‘t wait to welcome you the ZenDog family!
