BASIC INBOARD TRAINING PROGRAM:

The ‘Basic Inboard Training Program’ is a one week board/train program that includes demonstration and brief instruction. It is designed for owners who don’t have a lot of time to train their dogs, or for dogs that have problems. The benefit is that dogs gain repetition of successful responses, learn how to behave in a range of environments and under distraction. They learn obedient behavior and self control. They learn HOW to self calm. They have a firm grasp of what all the commands are and how to do them.
