Board & Train
Important Note About Board & Train
Board and train programs vary widely in their quality and approaches. Unfortunately, many facilities still use punishment-based methods despite advertising otherwise. We strongly recommend avoiding most board and train options. If you're struggling with your dog's behaviour and need intensive support, please reach out to Katrina at The Dog School. Katrina offers a very limited number of positive reinforcement-based board and train spots for current clients only. info@thedogschool.ca
Dog Daycare
Important Note About Daycare
We do not recommend doggy daycare EXCEPT for separation anxiety cases. Please reach out for recommendations if you have a separation anxiety case.
