BOARD & TRAIN PROGRAMS

BOARD and TRAIN

Our programs work because we focus on your dog’s state of mind, not just their issues. Most issues are just side effects of the real problem. The real problem is nearly always a lack of structure, rules, and boundaries. Most people give a dog ultimate freedom without realizing that is the opposite of what a dog wants and needs. Dogs need guidance and direct, otherwise you may be experiencing problems.

So, what exactly will your dog be doing during his/her stay? From the first moment we meet your dog, we will be implementing strict rules and boundaries. This covers quite a vast scale of behaviors like.

Whining
Jumping
Barking
Dog on Dog aggression
Separation Anxiety
Reactivity on Leash
Fear
Counter Surfing
Crate training.
Food and/or resource guarding

We teach and utilize basic obedience commands in order to help build a solid relationship. Your dog will learn the basics of walking on the leash, sit/stay, down/stay, place and come/recall. We utilize each of these commands in our general day-to-day activities to add a clearer structure to their lifestyle.

What Our Clients Say

"I'm still amazed at what Patte did with my Ozzy. I get to enjoy it every minute of every day that I spend with him! Initially, what caught my eye on her website, was seeing Cesar Millan's name and the fact that she trained personally with "The Dog Whisperer". The is as close as I'll ever get to having my dog trained "Cesar's Way', and I felt excited that Patte follows his beliefs and training ethics. It's like I have a whole new dog and we both enjoy our walks now."

-Jana Lewis, Petaluma

"My husband and I, and our dog, Riley, have taken multiple classes from Patte and the humans enjoy the classes as much as the dogs. It's great exercise for everyone and with Patte's help and guidance, the classes built confidence in our dog, which allowed her to overcome many of her fears."

-Lonnie and Vicky Green, Penngrove

"Patte is an amazing trainer. Her high level of expertise and kind, calm demeanor bring out the very best in our dogs. She is totally reliable and always timely. Whether it is training, exercise and walks, socialization, or dog sitting Patte is the absolute best! Her combination of knowledge and skills and confident, loving, and kind demeanor make her an awesome trainer that the dogs really respond well to. You will not a find a better person to care for and train your dogs. Highly, highly recommend."
