Dogs between eleven months and five years old often face challenges as they move out of the puppy stage. This period can bring about testing boundaries, selective listening, and difficulty focusing around distractions. The Obedience Boost & Manners 2-Week Board and Train program is designed to address these issues, helping dogs become more reliable, better at impulse control, and more focused during walks, outings, and at home.

Why Dogs Need Training Beyond Puppyhood
As puppies grow, their curiosity and energy often lead to testing limits. Around eleven months, dogs enter adolescence, a stage where they may ignore commands they once followed. This behavior can cause frustration for owners and reduce the quality of daily interactions.
The Obedience Boost program targets this stage by reinforcing foundational obedience skills and addressing common challenges such as:
Pulling on the leash during walks
Ignoring commands in distracting environments
Jumping on guests or family members
Difficulty settling down indoors
By focusing on these areas, the program helps dogs develop better impulse control and stronger focus, making everyday activities more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners.
What the 2-Week Board and Train Program Includes
This program is an intensive, hands-on training experience where your dog stays with professional trainers for two weeks. During this time, trainers work on:
Basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel
Impulse control exercises to reduce jumping, barking, and pulling
Focus training to improve attention around distractions like other dogs, people, and noises
Manners training for polite behavior at home and in public
The trainers use positive reinforcement techniques tailored to your dog’s personality and learning style. This approach builds trust and encourages your dog to respond reliably to commands.
How the Program Improves Everyday Life
Many dog owners notice a significant difference in their dog’s behavior after completing the Obedience Boost program. Here are some practical benefits:
More enjoyable walks: Your dog walks calmly on a leash without pulling or lunging, making outings safer and more relaxing.
Better social interactions: Improved manners mean your dog greets people politely and behaves well around other dogs.
Calmer home environment: Reduced jumping and barking lead to a more peaceful household.
Stronger recall: Your dog comes when called, even with distractions nearby, increasing safety and freedom.
These improvements help strengthen the bond between you and your dog, making daily life smoother and more rewarding.
What Owners Can Expect During and After Training
During the two weeks, trainers provide regular updates and guidance to help owners understand the training process. They also teach owners how to maintain and build on the progress made.
After the program, owners receive:
A detailed report on their dog’s progress
Customized tips for continuing training at home
Support for any questions or challenges that arise
Consistency is key to maintaining good behavior, so owners are encouraged to practice commands and exercises regularly.
Who Should Consider the Obedience Boost Program
This program is ideal for dogs who:
Are between eleven months and five years old
Show signs of selective listening or testing boundaries
Struggle with impulse control around distractions
Need stronger foundational obedience skills
If your dog’s behavior is affecting your daily routine or your enjoyment of activities together, this program offers a focused solution.
