Puppy Board & Train
The best positive reinforcement puppy training program!
Our Puppy Board and Train:
We offer this unique puppy board and train program helping to get your puppy off on the right foot. Our puppy
board and train program is unlike most programs available in Maryland.
We like to think of our program as a “puppy camp”. During your puppy’s stay, your puppy will live in our home environment, with our certified professional dog trainer / behavior consultant.
During your puppy’s stay we will identify any early behavior problems and start to help your puppy overcome any of these behavior issues from: resource guarding, shy and fearful puppies, early aggression to ensure your puppy grows into a well socialized and well adjusted adult dog.
