Is this the same as Board & Train?

No. Foundation Training is private coaching for obedience, manners, and structure. Board & Train is more intensive and better for faster progress, off-leash goals, or more serious behavior issues.

Where does training take place?

Training takes place at your home, in your neighborhood, or at local parks depending on your dog’s goals.

What does the program help with?

Leash pulling, jumping, impulse control, listening around distractions, place command, door manners, and everyday obedience.

Is this right for reactivity or aggression?

It depends on the severity. Some mild reactivity may fit, but more serious behavior cases may be better suited for Board & Train or a more intensive plan.

How many sessions are included?

The Foundation Program is built around your dog’s needs and goals. During the evaluation, I’ll help determine if Foundation Training is the right fit and explain what the program would look like for your dog.
