Our Structure & Exposure Program is designed to teach your dog all the basics, and to help them understand their family's expectations. Think of it as private school dog training. During their three week stay, they will learn all the basic commands such as sit, lay down, stand, recall, leave , and stay. They will also learn basic household etiquette, this may include crate training, potty training, threshold etiquette, and leash etiquette. 

You will receive progress reports every other day that outline what goals were met, as well as what behaviors we are working to improve. Progress reports will also include videos and pictures of their daily routine. 

Because this is a socialization and exposure program, we mainly use positive reinforcement for your pup. We do not use prong, or choke chain collars for this program. The only corrective collars that are used are martingale collars or slip leads. We take pride in providing a safe, nurturing, and healthy learning environment for your pup .
