Dog Board and Train Bay Area

Evaluation

Dogs are known as “man’s best friend”—starting from the first few days of them being in your home to long car rides to your favorite parks and walking trails. You dream of you and your loyal companion exploring new paths and playing games, bonding, and creating an everlasting relationship you’ll never forget. But that dream can come crashing down when your pup’s behavior isn’t exactly what you thought it would be. Whether you brought a puppy home or adopted an adult dog from a local shelter, teaching proper dog behavior is a universal challenge that can leave owners feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. You notice signs of aggression, reluctance, lethargy, or flat-out disobedience. You’re at your wit’s end and don’t have a lot of options left to help your dog adjust their behavior in a positive direction.

Luckily, we at Benchmark Dog Training offer dog board and train services to redirect your dog’s behavior from negative to positive. It all begins with an evaluation. This will include a consultation in your home, followed by an evaluation of your dog, and end with the beginning steps of your training program. The evaluation is essential for clarifying your training goals to help us best design a training program for your individual needs. Our board and train dog programs offer two- to three-week or four- to five-week programs to teach owners helpful skills for on-leash training and tools for off-leash control. We help your pooch learn basic commands through private lessons at our professional teams’ homes and incorporate the same training methods during their transition back home.

In just a few weeks, your pup will go from expressing naughty, uncontrollable disobedience to attentive, well-controlled behavior that will impress friends and family. You can say goodbye to days of mouthiness, nipping, or biting and say hello to loving, respectful behavior. We at Benchmark Dog Training strive to create positive boarding and training for dogs, so owners and their pooches can create positive memories wherever they go. If you have any questions about our professional board and train dog programs, reach out to our team today to get started.
