TWO-PART PUPPY BOARD AND TRAIN PROGRAM

The puppy board and train program features two training portions: A two-week puppy program and a four-week intermediate training program.

Part 1: When your pup is between the ages of 8-weeks to 5 months, they will stay with us at Common Canine for a 2-week basic puppy board and train program. We will focus on the essentials like crate and potty training, proper socialization, and food luring which is the foundation for commands like sit, down, and heel. Socialization with other pets, pending up-to-date vet records, is also included.

At the end of this 2-week program, we will get together for a go-home lesson which will provide you with the tools to continue your puppy’s training at home until they are ready for part two of the training program.

Part 2: Once the puppy reaches the age of 6 months, your dog will return to the Common Canine facility for a 4-week intermediate board and train program where they will learn obedience fundamentals that will carry into your pet’s adult life. Fundamentals include ‘sit,’ ‘heel,’ ‘down',’ and ‘place.’ An e-collar and remote and an elevated place bed will be used during training and given to you after your pet’s program.

  • Pet pick-up and drop-off

  • Crate and potty training

  • The basics of food luring

  • Socialization with other pets

  • Down on command

  • Lay and sit on ‘place’ for an extended period of time
