For the most focused training, Higher Standard Dog Training offers a Board and Train style approach.

WHERE?
Your dog will come live with one of our trainers for a predetermined amount of time, and receive concentrated training every single day. None of our trainers operate out of a facility, so your dog will be living in-home and given the same 24/7 care they would give their own dog.

WHY?
Board and trains are highly effective, and can show results much quicker than private sessions. We recommend them for anyone looking to streamline their results, and especially suggest them for more severe cases of behavioral modification, any kind of service dog, a puppy-raising head start, or anyone seeking a more streamlined approach.

HOW?
Your dog will receive a minimum of two to three training sessions every day, along with a purposeful lifestyle to help your dog be their best self. We also ensure all board and trains go on hikes, field trips, and other outings throughout their stay. These trips are meant to advance training, practice the functional aspect of the training, and also have some fun!

Higher Standard Dog training believes in a “whole life” approach, meaning we take everything into account when making progress. Play, rest, walks, in-home manners, and exposure to the outside world all go into your dog’s behavior and happiness just as much as active training.

THEN WHAT?
Following the board and train, the initial price includes one transfer session when your dog goes home, though many clients continue training within lessons afterwards.

“Failed board and trains” simply do not exist with Higher Standard Dog Training because we take proactive methods to set you and your dog up for success. In fact, many find it easier to learn after their dog is already trained. Either way, the entire process from the why, how, and beyond will be covered thoroughly.
