Dog Training Services
You simply will not find a more comprehensive board and train in Oregon or Colorado!
Our unique approach to dog training is geared more towards addressing the primary state of mind of your dog, rather than strictly focusing on creating rehearsed obedience drills. We are much more concerned with creating a safe, calm and balanced dog, than creating a dog that just performs commands on cue. We can essentially offer you the ultimate “do over” in your relationship with your dog. We can give you a clean slate to work from even if you have months or years of bad habits or frustration. In our Board and Train Program, we are looking to create a state-of-mind shift. Whether your dog is hyperactive and out of control, or your dog is nervous and fearful of the world, you will see a drastic difference in how they FEEL when they leave our program.
Actions come from feelings. We have a saying in dog training, ”It’s not the behavior, it’s the motivation behind the behavior.” When a fearful dog feels more confident, it is not going to lash out on leash, the old way of coping with that fearful emotion. When your hyperactive dog now has an “off-switch” and looks to you for information before making their next move, that’s what the board and train program is all about!
If it’s lessons you are seeking, our private one-on-one lesson package is sure to bring your relationship with your dog to the next level while instilling the core, basic foundation that all dogs need!

3 Week Board and Train starting at $3300-$5700*
Our 3 week Board and Train is our most popular program. There is truly something about a 21 day period to break or create new habits. Many dogs may need more time, but this 3 week program is a fair amount of time to help most dogs. This program is for dogs that struggle with social issues such as fearfulness, nervousness, leash aggression, food guarding, anxiety, dog aggression and for dogs that have bitten people or other animals. It is also for dogs that are in need of advanced obedience training. The program includes:
- A 30 minute consultation at drop off
- 3 full weeks of training and boarding
- Your dog will learn: sit, down, come, place, heel, all on and off-leash
- Socialization at a rate that suits your dog
- A Herm Sprenger prong collar
- Updates via email and social media
- The ability to settle in public places like restaurants and breweries
- Oregon customers receive discounted rates at SCP Hotel of Redmond
- Your dog will make a full "state-of-mind" shift while here in training
- A half-way lesson
- Boarding privileges
- A bath
- Phone and email support for the life of the dog
- UNLIMITED follow-up lessons after the program at our location for 6 months
If you choose to have your dog off-leash trained, an E collar Technologies collar runs between $220-$395 depending on the needs of your dog. I may strongly recommend that some behavioral cases MUST use a remote collar for safety and maximum reliability. Price of program may vary based on the degree of of your dog’s behavioral issues and will be discussed after reviewing your questionnaire during the follow-up phone call. *There is a chance additional weeks may be required at a cost of $700.00-$1,500.00 per week (depending on your dog’s training needs) to resolve your dog’s behavior issue(s). You will be informed within the first week of your dog’s Board and Train, if any additional weeks are needed. Occasionally, dogs require more time if they are really struggling with aggression, anxiety or fear. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is required once your dog has been scheduled for Board and Train services.
