Board & Train
Designing a board and train program tailored to specific pet parent needs involves several key steps. Here is a step-by-step guide for creating a customized training program that spans a minimum of 1 week:
Initial Consultation: We conduct a thorough initial consultation with the pet parent. Gather information about the dog's behavior, temperament, and specific training goals. Discuss any behavioral issues, commands the owner wants the dog to learn, and their expectations.
Assessment: We evaluate the dog's current behavior, obedience level, and any existing training. Identify areas that need improvement and set realistic goals based on the pet parent's requirements.
Customization of Training Plan: We develop a tailored training plan that addresses the specific needs and goals outlined during the consultation. This may include commands like sit, stay, recall, leash manners, or addressing specific behavior problems.
Daily Schedule: We create a daily schedule outlining training sessions, exercise routines, feeding times, and rest periods. A structured routine helps dogs adapt and learn more effectively.
Positive Reinforcement Techniques: Emphasize positive reinforcement techniques to encourage desired behaviors. Use treats, praise, and rewards to reinforce good behavior, creating a positive association with training.
Socialization: If applicable, we incorporate socialization exercises to expose the dog to different environments, people, and other animals. This helps improve the dog's adaptability and reduces anxiety.
Consistency in Commands: We ensure consistency in commands and cues across all training sessions. This helps the dog understand and respond appropriately to commands given by both the trainer and the pet parent.
Regular Updates for Pet Parents: We provide regular updates to pet parents on their dog's progress. Share successes, challenges faced, and any adjustments made to the training plan. Keep an open line of communication.
Problem-Solving Sessions: We include problem-solving sessions to address any challenges or setbacks. Offer guidance on how to handle specific situations and reinforce positive training methods.
Gradual Increase in Difficulty: We gradually increase the difficulty of training exercises as the dog progresses. This ensures a continuous challenge and reinforces the learning process.
Final Evaluation: We conduct a final evaluation at the end of the 2-week program to assess the dog's overall improvement and achievements. Provide feedback to the pet parent and offer guidance on maintaining the training.
Post-Training Support: We offer post-training support, such as follow-up sessions or additional resources, to help pet parents maintain the newly acquired skills and behaviors in their dog.
Remember, flexibility is key, and the program may need adjustments based on the dog's response and individual needs. Regular communication with the pet parent ensures a successful and satisfying training experience.
