Skills Addressed During Board & Train

The exact skills depend on the program selected.

Recall

Recall teaches the dog to return when called. The 1 Week Freedom, Community K9, and Urban K9 programs include off-leash recall work.

No recall training eliminates every risk. Owners must continue practicing and follow applicable leash laws.

Sit and Extended Sit

Sit gives the dog a clear position for greetings, doorways, and other everyday situations. Extended sit develops duration according to the applicable program.

Down and Extended Down

Down can help owners direct their dogs during household activity and public outings. Down is included in the Community K9, Urban K9, and Behavioral curricula.

Place and Extended Place

Place directs the dog to a designated cot, bed, or similar area. It can be useful during meals, visitor arrivals, and household activity.

Heel

Heel develops more controlled walking. The Community K9 program lists off-leash heel, Urban K9 lists on-leash heel, and the Behavioral program lists heel and loose-leash walking.

Off

Off is used to interrupt listed unwanted behaviors. It is included in the Community K9, Urban K9, and Behavioral curricula.

Greeting, Door, and Meal Manners

These practical manners help owners manage common household situations. The current Board & Train listings include greeting, door, and meal manners in multiple programs.
