TAILORED BOARD & TRAIN PROGRAMS
Based on your dog's unique needs!
The Alpha K9 U Boarding School Program, also known as In-Kennel training (IKT), Board and Train, or Doggie Boot Camp, offers a convenient alternative to private, group, and in-home training. If you lack the initial time to devote to basic training, our Boarding School Program is the perfect solution. It's like a 'jump start' on basic obedience, with personalized training that is specifically tailored to your dog's behavior.
Basic Training Specs
Fifteen (15) Day Program:
The fifteen (15) day training program is geared towards reliable on-leash obedience from your dog, even when real-life distractions are present. Training is focused on behaviors such as walking on a loose leash; no pulling, sit on command, down on command, 2-minute sit-stay with the handler, 10-20 minute down-stay, "leave it” command and recall (come when called on a 20-foot-long line/sit in front of handler). Following the Board and Train program, your dog will be enrolled in the next available Obedience class to continue the training with the handler.
Twenty-one (21) Day Program:
The day training program is a comprehensive solution that addresses YOUR dog's unique needs. It is focused on behaviors such as heeling, heel with automatic sit, sit on command, down on command, 3-minute sit-stay (with handler 20' away from the dog), 30-minute down-stay, "place" command, "leave it" command, and Recall (Come/Sit in front of handler). This program is designed as an individualized program to address any behavioral issues determined during the Meet and Greet Phase of the program. The following are a few, but not limited to, problem areas that we have helped owners/handlers remedy: puppy training/housebreaking, crate training, pulling on lead, not coming when called, crying in a crate, stealing food, jumping on people, jumping on furniture, running out of doors, etc. Following the Board and Train program, your dog will be enrolled in the next available obedience class to continue the training with the handler.

With a high success rate and countless five-star reviews from satisfied customers, our Boarding & Train programs stand out for reasons such as:
- Our team of expert trainers, with their wealth of experience and deep understanding of canine behavior, provides personalized training tailored to your dog's unique personality and specific behaviors, ensuring the best results for your companion.

This practical approach ensures the skills are theoretical and applicable in everyday situations, giving you the confidence that your companion is well-prepared for any scenario. You can rest assured that your dog will be well-behaved in any situation.
- The program rates include daily dog boarding fees and personalized exit training sessions on the pickup date.
- As a bonus, we offer FREE BASIC OBEDIENCE CLASS ENROLMENT (Group classes; six (6) week course—AN ADDITIONAL $200 VALUE), ensuring you get the most out of your canine training investment.
