Day Training: common questions

How does Day Training actually work?

You drop your dog off in the morning, Ray runs the daily training reps, you pick up after work. A weekly handler session catches you up so the work transfers to you and stays consistent at home. Less intense than a Board & Train but more consistent than weekly private lessons.

Who is Day Training best for?

Owners with no time for daily homework who do not want their dog away for 2 to 6 weeks of Board & Train. Also good for dogs that need more reps than weekly private but where a full Board & Train is overkill.

How is Day Training priced?

Day Training is quoted per day or in packages of 5 or 10 days. The free consultation is where we figure out which package fits your dog. Pricing depends on the goals and how many days the work needs.

Can my dog go straight from Day Training into a Board & Train?

Yes. Some owners start in Day Training, see the kind of work Ray does, and convert into a Board & Train when they realize their dog needs the deeper reset. The two formats use the same curriculum so the work translates without a restart.
