What Is A Board And Train CT Program And Could It Transform Your Pet

By David Olson


Some dogs just naturally have good manners and others take to obedience training like they were born for it. Then there are the pets who resist all efforts to teach them how to behave indoors and on a leash. If you are at your wit's end, and don't know what to do with your uncooperative puppy, you might consider a board and train CT program to get him on track and your life back to normal.

When work and school takes all the family members out of the house all day, training a puppy can become problematic. It may be that boarding the dog with a trainer for a week or two is the best solution. There are basically two types of training environments available, in home and kennel.

When you opt for the in home training, your puppy will live with the trainer for a specified amount of time, normally ten to fourteen days. One advantage you have with this program is that your puppy won't be in a cage. Puppies are introduced to the kind of etiquette expected of an indoor pet. This includes respecting boundaries, not pulling food off tables and counters, and house training.

Kennel programs are much more structured. Puppies are housed in outdoor cages except when they are involved in training sessions. They don't have the same informal interaction with humans as those in home training. If you request additional exercise for your pet, or walks on a leash, it may cost you more.

Basic training is the goal of most of these programs. Your puppy will learn how to heel, come, sit, and stay. He will be house trained. Your puppy will learn manners like not jumping up on people, not rushing doors, and not pulling on his leash.

Pet owners who have dogs with behavioral issues like aggression or excessive shyness learn behavior modification using techniques like desensitizing. If you have an animal with aggression issues, you need to make sure the trainer you leave your puppy with does not use choke, prong, or shock collars to coerce animals into behaving. Flooding is a controversial method of modifying behavior you need to discuss with your trainer.

One of the obvious advantages of using these services is that your pet will be learning good habits from a professional trainer. The results should be faster and more complete than if you had tried to do the work yourself. If you're going out of town and leaving your animal behind, taking him to a trainer might be a perfect option.

The biggest disadvantage to leaving your pet with a trainer or kennel is that you won't really know what methods they are using to change your dog's behavior. You have to trust the trainer or kennel to do the right thing. Regressing after the return home is normal. It will be your responsibility to reinforce the efforts of your dog's trainer.
