Stay-n-Train Programs

Our unique Stay-n-Train experience will provide your furry best friend with the structure and guidance that they crave and thrive within but can't set up on their own. Through staying with us 24/7 throughout the stay-n-train, providing clear boundaries, limitations and rules; holding them accountable through consistent direction and leadership, we are able to effectively communicate and bring dogs to a calm relaxed state. This is where the teaching can now begin...

We have been very successful working with a variety of dogs with many different kinds of issues using our calm, relaxed approach! 

What IS an Ecollar?

An Ecollar is an electronic collar that can provide the dog with a great deal of communication remotely. Think...invisible leash. Learn more

Does my dog need ECollar? 

Many people think ECollar is a "last training step" for dogs. This simply isn't true. For many dogs, this is the first step! ECollar training is a positive , fun way to have a remote, low level conversation with your dog. Many people that opt for this program want to have off leash adventures with their dogs and ECollar will allow them the freedom to do it! Yes, it is also very widely used to help with behavior issues as well, only AFTER the dog understands the collar.  

GOOD ECollar training teaches the language of the collar. When our team teaches ECollar, dogs learn all their obedience commands on the first level they feel. This is significant because we pair and pattern this low level feeling with fun and food first. (It's also important to note that 98% of all dogs we've trained on ECollar learn on a number LOWER than the first number I feel. I first feel it on a 9 out of a 100 and most dogs first feel it between a 5-8.) We don't do any correcting on the collar until the dog has a good understanding of the collar and knows how to shut the pressure off.
