For the best possible success of the Board & Train Program, you must be willing to implement the following house rules for 30-90 days after your go home transfer session:

• Dog is not fed human food

• Dog may not jump on people, counters or tables

• Dog must be crated at night and when you are not home (unless otherwise specified)

• Dog is not allowed access to human furniture (beds, couches, chairs, etc.)

• Dog is now allowed to initiate any dog, small child or stranger greeting for 30-90 days while practicing duration off leash e-collar work. If the dog is to encounter a known individual (dog/human) leash dog and pair a verbal command upon allowing a greeting. Playdates and socialization can start in the beginning if done in designated areas that will not allow dog to interact with unfamiliar dogs.

 

Dog’s owner must provide the dog with a structured day such as the one below:

• Duration work, incorporated with obedience skills throughout the day

• Be seated and waiting until release command is given to be fed or pass through thresholds

• Daily, consistent E-Collar use (collar can be adjusted to different positions on the neck to help prevent possible irritation)

• Other instructions will be included and is dependent upon the individual needs of your dog
