Trainer Insight
Board & Train can provide dogs with focused, consistent practice over a structured period. The transition home is also important. Owners need to understand how to continue reinforcing what their dog learned so those skills can become part of everyday routines. Sunshine’s graduation marks the end of her formal two-week stay and the beginning of continued practice with her family.
