Santiago
Male Doberman, 1 yo
Santiago, or Santi, came to us in May 2022. He is a sweet boy who just needed a little crate training and structure in his life in order to thrive. He loves playtime, and has a goofy side--but don't be fooled, he is a working dog breed whose training needs be reinforced after he gets into a home. Contact us to set up a meeting with Santi!

How long is the board and train program?The average time for board and train is between 4-7 weeks. This is for what we call a "finished dog." In other words, your dog will be able to follow all basic commands, on top of any other specifc behaviors you specify with our training team.
-
Where does my dog stay?Your pet stays in our training facility and is only taken outside for training and potty. Beds are provided.

Can I visit my pet while he or she is at board and train?Visitation is discouraged, but limited to 2 visits. We always send plenty of videos to dog parents so you will be updated regularly on your pet's progress.

What if my dog gets sick during his/her stay?You will be notified immediately and we will take your dog to a 24 hour vet. From there, it will be your decision for next steps.

Can you customize commands?Of course! All you have to do is specify the words you'd like to use when giving your dog commands. If you do not, we will use the following commands: Sit Down Stay Recall(Come) Place Your dog will also learn social manners with strangers and strange dogs, as well as any lifestyle commands you ask us to implement.

How does the free follow up work?For every week your dog is in training, you get 1 free follow up session. For example, if your dog is in training for 4 weeks, you get 4 follow ups. In order to accommodate everyone, the limit is 1 session per week.
-
Is my $500 deposit for board and train refundable?No, by putting down a deposit you are reserving your dog's spot and therefore preventing another client from booking a board and train for that time frame. If you decide you do not want to do a board and train with us after putting down a deposit we are not required to give you your money back.
