Board & Trains
Before any board and train can be booked an in-home evaluation must be done. The evaluations are $35 and must be paid at the time of registering in or to schedule. These consultations are typically an hour in length. Amber will make sure the program desired is going to meet all the goals wanted by the family.
Dogs, much like humans, have a 21-28 day period to make and break new habits or behaviors. Just like we can not just stop a habit or behavior in a matter of days or sometimes weeks we cannot expect our dogs to either, no matter their age. So, to train fully and appropriately Amber only offers 2 options for board and trains. A 3 week and a 6 week. Your dog must also be at least 6mo old by the start date of their program. She has other options available for puppies under 6mo old.
Payment: In order to book a board and train after a consultation 50% will be paid upfront to book your spot. No spot is held prior to this deposit. The other 50% will be due on the start date of your program. Because Amber is the only trainer your program may not start right away as she only books 4 at a time. Payment plans can be discussed at the time of your consultation as well.

Behavior modification cases include dog aggression, resource guarding, fear aggression and general anxieties. Amber does not do human aggression if she feels it will be a liability to her facility. She is happy to do a consultation to evaluate the severity of your dog’s human aggression. Some cases she feels she can take on safely a plan will be put in place. If she needs to refer to another facility better capable of handling your case, she will offer references.
Amber always operates transparently and provides her clients with truthful, reliable and unfiltered feedback. She does find in a lot of cases; most people are not equipped with the skill set to deal with difficult dogs exhibiting serious aggression. Most aggression cases are trained through private lessons as the liability of an aggressive dog on premises is too great. Again, a consultation with Amber will give her the information she needs to make this decision with you.
During this program, Amber works closely with your dog to implement effective behavior modification techniques tailored to their individual needs. She aims to address and manage anxiety, reactivity or other behavioral challenges you may be facing in a way that can be transferred to the owner once the dog is back home. Please keep in mind this is not a onetime fix program. You WILL have to keep up the new way of life to maintain the change or management in your dog.
All training services require a 30min scheduled consultation at the facility. Consultations are free of charge and are done Mondays and Fridays between 9AM-6PM or I do offer them every other Sunday 10a-2p.
To reserve a board and train, first, a consultation must be done. After a program is decided on, a non-refundable deposit of 50% is due to hold your spot and the other 50% is due at check-in. I will email you all the training contracts needed and request your dog's vaccine and fecal records. I am the only trainer so the limit is 6 per month so your training may not start right away.
Please note that the training cost does not reflect any equipment needed. That will be billed at pick-up.
