How the Program Works

During our Board & Train program, your dog stays at Mountain View Kennel and receives multiple daily training sessions, along with walks, outings, and real-world socialization.

​

Each dog receives individualized attention and training tailored to their personality, behavior, and learning style.

​

Training focuses on building a well-rounded family dog while improving common behavior challenges.​​

​

Program Length

​

Most dogs begin with a 30-day training program, though the exact length may vary depending on the dog's age, temperament, and previous training experience.

​

Training typically ranges from 3–6 weeks to reach the desired goals.

Skills We Work On

Training may include:

• Sit and down commands

• Loose leash walking

• Proper heel

• Reliable recall

• Waiting politely at doors

• “Leave it” and impulse control

• No jumping or mouthing

• Calm crate behavior

• Playing appropriately with toys

• Socializing with other dogs and meeting new people

  
  

Every dog is evaluated individually so we can create a customized training plan based on their needs.

Discover what our clients think about our service

Vikki worked with our very stubborn spaniel just about five weeks. When we finally brought him home he was way better. His recall improved so much. We have two cats at home that he would absolutely not leave alone at first as well. We would have to separate and yell at him constantly. Now he always listens with leave it and pretty much ignores them completely. Bleu is also no longer trying to dig up and eat weed cloth we have around our landscaping!

Allyson C

Such a change! Our dogs pay attention now, they look up at us waiting for instructions, no more jumping, walk without dragging me down the road, much calmer puppies, if anyone knows Catahoulas… they are stubborn… Vicky got through to them and taught them well. We are looking forward to having happy obedient boys . Thanks to Vicky for all her work, it shows on how well the boys behave now.
