Cave Creek K9 Training
Board & Train Programs
At Cave Creek K9 Training, our immersive Board & Train program gives your dog the structure, consistency, and hands-on experience needed to truly change behavior—not just in a training room, but in real life. We don’t just teach obedience; we prepare dogs to be calm, confident, and responsive in everyday situations.
The Benefits of Our Board & Train Programs:
- Improved Behavior: Board and Train programs focus on instilling basic obedience commands in your dog. This foundational training equips you to better control your dog in various situations, whether it's a peaceful stroll in the park or friendly visits with family and friends.
- Improved Socialization: Obedience training plays a vital role in improving your dog's socialization skills. By exposing your dog to different people, dogs, and environments, we help them feel more at ease and confident in new situations, reducing anxiety and aggression.
- Mental Stimulation: The challenges of obedience training provide your dog with valuable mental stimulation, curbing boredom and destructive behavior.
- Stronger Bond: Training creates a deeper bond between you and your dog, enhancing mutual understanding and communication. This connection results in a more fulfilling relationship, rooted in trust and companionship.
- Safety First: A well-trained dog is a safer dog. Teaching your dog basic commands, such as recall (coming when called), can prevent potentially dangerous situations, like running into traffic or approaching hazardous objects.
- Physical Well-Being: Many training activities involve physical exercise, keeping your dog in optimal health and providing an outlet for their energy.
What's Included:
- Foundational Obedience: Your dog will master core commands like Sit, Down, Heel, Recall, Place, and Kennel—with a strong emphasis on reliability, even around distractions.
- Behavior Modification: We address leash pulling, jumping, barking, reactivity, and more customized to your dog’s specific needs.
- Real-World Training: Your dog won’t just be working in the backyard—we take training into the real world. That includes high-traffic, high-distraction environments like Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter, and Pet-friendly patios throughout the Valley. This kind of exposure ensures your dog’s obedience holds up where it matters most: around people, dogs, noises, and constant movement. We want your dog to be calm, confident, and under control no matter the setting.
- Confidence & Focus: Dogs gain valuable experience navigating crowds, loud noises, and unpredictable distractions—building their trust, focus, and resilience.
- A Home Away from Home: Your dog will live with me in my personal home—not a kennel. This creates a calm, structured environment with daily interaction and around-the-clock reinforcement. It also allows me to work on behaviors in a natural home setting, helping your dog make a smooth transition back into your lifestyle.
- Owner Handoff & Support: When your dog completes the program, we’ll walk you through everything they’ve learned and show you how to maintain that progress at home. The handoff includes detailed instruction, live demonstrations, and time for questions so you feel confident continuing the training. We also include follow-up lessons after camp to support the transition and make sure the results stick. You’re never left on your own—we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
