why in-home training?
Dog training lessons are just as important for you the owner as they are for your dog. By completing sessions in person with you and your dog it gives you the opportunity to learn how to work with your dog, reinforce the correct behaviors, and handle problem behaviors on a day-to-day basis. Board and trains can be great for laying a good foundation, focusing a lot of time on a complex behavior like with service dogs, or even accompanying private lessons. However, for most dogs when they go home from a board and train they will slowly go back to their old ways unless their owner learns how to keep up with their training the way their trainer did. This is why private lessons are really necessary to teach you the human how to reinforce behavior you want to keep seeing and correctly handle problem behaviors when they come up.
Learning in the home also provides dogs with a familiar environment that is as free of new distractions as possible, and allows sessions to take place where the problem behaviors are most often happening. As you and your dog progress, sessions may take place outside on walks or at locations in your neighborhood to practices skills in more challenging environments.
