Build the right foundation from the beginning. Puppy programs focus on engagement, communication, confidence, neutrality, household manners, leash skills, basic obedience, and creating the foundation for a stable, reliable adult dog.
Board and Train
Trainer-led board and train near St. Charles, IL, with private lessons that help you keep your dog's progress going at home.
Are you a little short on time or overwhelmed with how much effort it takes to train your dog? Did you not realize how much time was needed to train your dog before you made the decision to get one? If so, our board and train program is a great option for you. Your dog will stay with one of our trainers and learn essential obedience, manners, calmness, and essential life skills. We also take on behavioral issues such as aggression, reactivity, separation anxiety, and fear.
Although one of our trainers will be spending a lot of time with your dog teaching new behaviors and stopping unwanted behaviors, we place a huge emphasis on teaching you how to maintain your dog's training long after their stay with us is over. We structure our board and train program to include several private lessons as well so you can learn how to maintain your dog's improved behavior for the rest of their life.
Board and train programs
Obedience Training
For dogs that need a higher level of communication, manners, and reliability. Training may include leash walking, recall, place, impulse control, engagement, neutrality, off-leash foundations, and reliable obedience around real-world distractions.
Behavioral Modification
For dogs struggling with more complex behavioral concerns such as reactivity, aggression, fear, impulse control, handling issues, or other challenging behaviors. Each program is built around the individual dog rather than a predetermined training formula.
Before you choose board and train
During board and train, your dog stays with one of the Wagging Rights trainers while the trainer works on your goals. Programs can focus on puppy foundations, obedience and manners, or behavioral concerns, depending on the individual dog.
Wagging Rights structures board and train to include several private skill-transfer lessons. These lessons teach owners how to maintain their dog's commands and improved behavior after the stay.
Board and train is customized to your dog and your goals rather than a predetermined formula. Start with a free virtual consultation and behavior evaluation to discuss puppy, obedience, or behavior needs and the owner's role after training.
How to get started
