PART OF EVERY BOARD & TRAIN
You learn.
Your dog learns.
You grow together.
All of our local training programs are Board & Train stays. Every Board & Train includes three full owner lessons, so you learn how to carry the training into everyday life.
Included in every program
Three full owner lessons.
Learning starts during training.
Around 2½ weeks
Your first full owner lesson takes place while your dog is still in training.
Around 3–3½ weeks
The second full lesson continues your hands-on learning before Go-Home day.
Go-Home day
Your final full lesson connects the training to the routines and practice you’ll continue at home.
These are approximate milestones. We coordinate lesson dates with you during the program.
Understand your dog.
Keep the learning going.
Your lessons help you work with The Dog In Front Of You: recognize their responses, discover what motivates them, and teach clearly.
Play, communication, and everyday walks.
Learn to bring our Play-Based approach home through Chase & Catch, Possession Games, Flirt Pole, Personal Play, and other games suited to your dog. Put that connection to work on practical walks, with the environment and distractions matched to your dog’s readiness.
We teach Sit, Down, Place, Stay, Recall, Heel, Let’s Go, and Out, along with the verbal markers Ok! and Ah-Ah! Additional commands and skills are sometimes taught, depending on the needs of the case.
Prepare for your lesson
Bring good questions.
Leave with a clear plan.
Use Angier K9 Academy’s owner-lesson guide to prepare your questions and notice the details in a demonstration. Bring the printable practice note to record the setup, sequence, and follow-up agreed on with your trainer.
